Untethered
As the space we share together-
Becomes untethered.
I shall take the scars of kindness with me.
Even as my blood goes missing.
And all that will be left are my clanking bones.
Which I will use to drum up a song that is like clouds turned to stone.
I shall smile as I wait for the loss.
While I am waiting for the stars to tell me that complete is the cost.
I shall allow myself to continue with my tears.
Your lack of presence is no longer one of my fears.
It is me that is banished.
And it is you that has vanished.
I will not perish with you by my side.
But together we will share the last glimmering of hope’s tide!
