Les

In just one split of an instant
Life force entirely withdrew
With your vitality vanished
I find myself severed in two

As heavens expand between us
I fear I’ll recall less each day…
So, I think back through the senses

Pupils enlarge
Neural synapses open

Air slips in my veins
Blood stream widens

More expansive
Yet focused on what matters
