Going
From June to June
Losing
Peace of mind
Altered hearing
Body no longer remaining
Still

Losing love, lives, other than mine
Taken
I see from behind a screen
Bitter overlay on reality
Everything gets taken
Circumstance on a side far from mine

Going
From June to June
Small road ahead
Traffic coming in
Remembering and forgetting
Remember to forget

Her death and his one coming
Their lives out of touch with yours
The noises and the rushing and the pains
From elbow to leg to toes
From mind to eye to skin and bones
No longer your own

All the imagined deaths
The cancers, bloodclots
Or the hand of your own
Chapters you try to close
Swell like tumors hijacking the dream
Your paradise was a nightmare
Reality not real

Sweep in like the tide from the sea
Erase the imprints you left
Retrace your footsteps
She calls, I listen
She calls
'Come back to me'
I listen
