I'Ll Be Seeing You Poem by Diana van den Berg

I'Ll Be Seeing You



A single note,
moon-haunting-velvet,
and she wanted
to hold it,
protect it,
purr-soft cup it
in quiet fingers,
but then
there was
another note
and another
and another
and they melted into bird voices
and feather-floated
up, up,
too high for sound
and she reached too far
and she was gone...
death by
too much eternal beauty
in one glass-bright skysong.
