What Remains

Today I feel unreal. 

‘Decohered.’

Like a suitcase full of writings 
and knick-knacks and scribbles 
torn asunder. 

Splintered. 

And the collection that was contained 
therein can no longer interact 
in the same manner. 

But then calmly you sit 
and take into yours my hand

so that one thing remains-

I want to stay here.
