Description
I miss you
In the forgotten remembrances
Of soul-shucked searching,
In the nitty-gritty of deja-vu

In the slip of space
Between yesterday and today
Between black and grey---

I never thought you'd stay.

That layer of love
Was sliced so thin
I could almost see through it,
Breathe through the film
Of perforated longing.

I never stopped growing
And you shrank smaller and smaller
Until I could no longer wrap
Your heart around mine.

If this were the end of time
It would not matter,
But seconds march on and on
Dawn after dawn,
And the swan swims her circles
Into whirlpools of too-slowly evaporated regret.

I do not quite try to forget
But I do not give myself shadows dark enough to think.
