Now
How does it feel
To be forgotten?
It is not on my mind
Much of the time
But once in a while
When I slide
Out of someone's orbit
When they forget
To remember me
The galaxy grinds
To a sudden halt
As I grasp the unthinkable
Absence of me
In another mind
The axis shifts
Momentarily skewed
As I think about
Nothing but you,
For a moment
Or two
