and like that,
you were everything, everywhere,
in the world that was my own.
I could not escape you
for you were the coffee I drank
and the train that I took
and the poems I wrote.
but then I thought,
maybe I didn't want you
to stop being these things
because you were a comfort
when there was nothing left.
