The clock’s arms, never yours
February 10, 2021
Your absence made
Life go sideways
The clock’s strings
Are pulled backwards
Linearity is crumbling
Why did you steal
The horizon away from me
When you know how much
I adore the sun’s sweaty hike
And the constellations racing
Across the plush blanket of darkness
Hours
Minutes
Seconds
(Centuries, if you’re not next to me)
They’re nothing but a concept, I know
And the vastness of space
It neither has a shape, nor does it flow
Perhaps the theory of relativity
Is easier to understand
When the pain of loss holds you in captivity
