Death is Not Romantic Valentine (for Erin)

Even on some of the hottest mornings
down here in the low desert
in certain places under certain
cosmic pre-conditions
a dew can happen
in dead grass
you get to see the gestation
of a rainbow so I sat down
to watch a solitary diamond drop
evaporate as our own very eyes
must do one magic day
the day we stand between
the worlds leaving one
entering another
and feel ourselves evaporate
distilled to stillness
invisible as light
