Only a half moon is granted sundered lovers

A calm lake
a half moon
clean white sheets
in a deep black gloom.
When I lie down without you…
O why lie down without you?
I might as well tramp
some widow's walk
and wear out the soles of my shoes.
A calm lake
a half moon
empty arms
and an empty womb…
O why lie down without you?
