A midnight experiment,
To see if I can still feel.
With an eclipsed moon
Red like lambrusco,
I could feel and hear my blood
Racing and pounding in my ears.

We pooled together our loneliness.

I'm not sure if I resurrected human compassion
In just an hour of dreaming,
Or if I made things worse.

You were always the sensible one,
Able to detach emotions from your reasoning.
