Non-existence after the fact

You were the height of existence

more high than view

a poor man's whimsical consolation

I'll give that to you

and you took

you took

thigh then broke through

you were an ***

face askew

 

You were the master of nothing

lowly looking far from view

heart beat inaudible; polemic attribution

no want of memory

and you smiled

you smiled

pin what you could

held steadfast

 

I don't know who you were

I don't know that it was you

I don't recall the sound or when it stopped

I only remember when it restarted

absent a shadow

absent from view.
