When you were gone
the alphabet changed places
with the numbers and
time started echoing
differently.
Seasons burst open and interwoven
like black holes stitched into an
otherwise seamless tapestry.
Architecture melted
like candles with the sun,
my feat slipped upon
puddles of wax,
and everything that once did run
began to swim.
Snow started falling from my
mouth.
Feather pens replaced
ink cartridges
and needles
made for good post-it notes;
every single point in time
and place shifted;
matter made matter
matter made matter
that you have gone away.
