cometary timeout

she reached out
the other day

that unaccustomed channel
          long ago grown dark and musty
          with its windows sealed and shuttered
springing open in a flash
and filled with light and
was it
just the slightest touch of warmth

a space for conversation

not long before replies subside
the pattern reasserts
the light grows dim
and darkness brings the cold

comets never linger
near the sun
