Ex Fulgere
I am Eclipsed

Every time it happens, I swell a little more,
Collapsing, too, out and in, harmonic,
Lilting song of love and loss, like Janus looking forward and back.
I was greater once, and lesser too, before you emerged on a spring tide,
Proud of my strength that waning now, waxes within you,
Surpassing me, the satellite shadowing the sun,
Effulgent as I dim, and grieve, and rejoice.
