Signs
Silence got deeper after
your departure
even when you had said
nothing
space replete with
the pressure of your mind
presence of your being –
intermittent muffled clicks
of your keyboard –
now void
trembling falling
tulip petals shedding
revealing erect nakedness
skin snowflakes covering
the ground; if I gathered
reassembled sufficient flecks
of your molting skin
I could possibly
reconstruct
a semblance of you
