After he died
I saw you
sinking

slowly,
at first,
quietly.
Expressionless.
without the
flailing of arms
you were falling.

You didn't even try to
catch your
balance as
the sinkhole
pulled you down
into a darkness
so deep
that

nothing exists

nothing
long enough
to touch
the bottom
where you sat
and where you
met demise

You were such
a beautiful
woman
&
so far down
that you
couldn't
remember
the sky.
