There is no longer a near future where our bodies touch
in the vertical column of the universe.

I will not find your skin in sanity;
your absence will speak to me
like a winter flower,
like an untold story, a torn wall.

There will be no
“don’t sleep anymore”,
no little dog,
no little market,

the twenty fingers intertwined:
from lily to delirium,
from lily to delirium.
I am afraid.
