What Time Takes

a Poem by soma

i cannot stay adream / my chest caves / you
are pulled another way / stay, i beg / before the waters
come for us / and drag us out to space / please,
i scream / when the echoes turn to
swords / trapped behind my eyes / alight
on the horizon / you dissipate / stardust in the wind / i
breathe you / i cry / the first of many times / your body
burns like nebula / while mine withdraws,
moving doorward,
leaving you inside
