In the place between place;
where I cannot see
and cannot
be;
crumbled down
to ancient molecular moment
of extinction.
When all that was is no longer.
And what lingers
is twilight yesterday.
I miss him in the way
of mountains.
Lamenting in the ill-lit
awful.
Battering the trunk grown dim.
His branches ceased.
Scarlet bark
bled.
Echoing fury
lit.
My arms his. Cherished
against glass walls.
Face pressed indentations.
Rush hour vexation.
One merging one.
I hear my eyes
weeping.
Peel back corner
of middle part. Exposed
is the heart dropped.
Bellied within
reason.
How I ache in sadness
longing.
The forgotten
land from whence I came
scattered.
Here for the masses.
Victimhood chastised; envy
downcast; my echoing
bellow
perched upon master’s lap.
I miss you in the darkest
places.
