Faintly (Day 25 of 100 -- Poetry challenge)

I saw you last night
running through the yard
all those tears
watering the ground

I saw a shadow drift into the distance
like a fog
it eclipsed the moon
light

Now morning has come and it’s cold
there is frost on everything
the roses and camellias
cherry blossoms
and you

I have the heat on
a black blanket
tea in the kettle
drawn curtains
and that
tomb in the basement

Won’t you come in?
