tire tracks
June 21, 2014
I’m losing you and I know
because I can feel the echo of
your silence in the cavity of my
bones and your presence is no
longer sweet but a heaviness
that weighs down on my shoulders
and seeps into my skin.
The lavender breath that once
filled your lungs now smells
like rain-- the kind that forebodes a storm.
Your fingers have begun
to tangle themselves in my hair as if
they don’t know where they
belong and I’m sure you already
have your gas tank full and a
map drawn ending in a place
where I do not exist.
