I know the lonely days by heart.
Even as a child
floating my ship to school
across enemy seas,
with its peppermint sails unfurled,
I fought dragons
and demon gnats
alone ...
Today is...
the long slow ache
of missing someone you love
and knowing
there is no way
to retrace your steps...
of standing in small
empty spaces
