Cygnus


Cygnus 

i.m. I.K. 

One night I had explained to you the stars
of Cygnus the Swan, framed by a window
above where we lay. That’s Deneb, fifteen
hundred light years away.
 
And now I hear that you are gone further,
much further than that. Much further away
than where I thought you were now in London.
I am the more alone without you there.
