And then
I held your hand:
where have you been so long?
Our worlds intersperse, but seldom
we meet.
How has life been since you
had gone over? Does the horizon still
shine where you look from ?
A statue have I made of you,
and I sit reminiscing
every morning, sun-kissed.
Do you wear bodies the way we do?
Do thirst and hunger bother you?
I have so many things to ask,
but first, let us
go strolling in the park, years, since
I saw you in the dusk, dust-laden.

Exploring loss, a magical realist poem.
Also, have tried to put various rhythm sequences to convey an abstract sense: the poem starts with a Cinquain, ends in a quatrain and has a couplet and triplets..
