that Chekovian summer split apart
the soul going down one pathway
down the other way, the heart
such things are conclusive
keeping in mind the historical moment
or the moment when starlight fled
hiding her face on the other side of the earth.
nameless, among shadows.
absent in the evenings,
fading from view.
