So, if my hands uncurled
from around
her memory,
I wonder what they would look like,
its been so long since
I've seen myself the way I was
before.

What if the memory of her
is all that makes her exist,
and I let go. She will drift.

Away.

What happened to her body,
where'd it go?
The questions you dont ask, at times, mean
all the difference later...

Maybe if I could
then the guilt would wash away...
eddy on the tide and then out to sea
a great expanse
and peace.
