Breaking Up

You're breaking up,
a once strong signal
is being hacked by a light eroding time.

Pixels are blinking in and out,
a memory thread is fraying,
your features and voice disappearing,
peeling away from a past picture
once framed by a familiar clarity.

An entropy has led to a forgetfulness,
a loss I can no longer patch together.

I was once so confident
of your enduring imprint
upon my consciousness.

Now your sign and signature
are fast flowing into an ever-changing sea,
and for all I know
that you that I speak of

could be me.
