If you knew you would say
The earth turned
Trees grew
Past you
is forest
I felt
gone
But I remember holding your hand
At dusk
Then at dawn
With light and music
You said hello
But never goodbye

Consciousness
of the present
disappeared
long ago
In any case
you needed
something
without a name
hearing the forgotten

Strength
Only supported
on the last leg
Toppling all our knowledge
And tearing the heart which is its home
