If you leave who will prove that my cry existed?
Tell me what was I like before I existed.
Once by my ear, having passed through my brain
I can barely remember your sigh existed.
She tried to replace cake with another’s bread
although we all knew no supply existed.
I reached my goal anonymously
They had no knowledge my try existed.
Bursting with implosions and marble-seamed spikes
you, Annie, were thus, before “goodbye” existed.
