A Rare Love Poem That Ends Sadder than it Began (which says Something about the Nature of Love)

After the Series Finale of Nip/Tuck

When is my
protector
coming home

we danced like
old songs. Stangers
in the night

the stars and subways
are alive and mindful
of north, noon

you know you're
gonna need her
when I'm gone

the old moon which
can't even remember
her name, smile

the last flag
was buried in
our best box
