Where that place used to be, where we
had our first first and
everything could have been considered perfect,
rushing us toward the future where we
emerged from our prisons and became one.
We can no longer find this place, the place we
extinguished our flame and you became
understanding of
something which
excluded everyone, excluded me.
Down into the abyss of the future, where I must
try on terms of my
own, alone,
but without you I can still move forward,
emanating a newness in a place that no longer is.
