If You Go



If you go
my eyes will swiftly shatter
my tongue
unoiled by your easy lips
will rust tight
my skin
will dust the ground
in a flurry of white lament
my fingers
lose their memory
my body
dangling
from you shrill absence
will knot and fray
and how will I
grapple
the raging room?

    Thanks for sending this poem, Mike.
    It seems to hold a lot of stress, uncertainty. I needed it today. Maybe I’m reading myself into it.
