now you are a million miles
away and i can only leap
half a nation every breath
i start a fire now
i wear velcro now because
tying takes too much effort
now you turn in circles
i equate you now with showering
in the dark where i fumble often
now you are equal to extra sugar
in my tea and late night rains
i label and dissect
hammer out the dents
clear my palette
now
befuddled
confused
sloshed
now
end this for me
