permanence

by Elisa Hinson - Aquarius

last night
i dreamed

a CD spinning
and his voice
going
going
gone

i woke up
this morning
with three extra
keys

in my pocket

his prints
lifted 
all evidence
removed

and i think
i can only 
take so much

this feeling
the same
as the time
he left

in a cloud of
smoke

bleeding
and insane

and it's the same
but not the same

belief a thread
we always held between
us

carrying hope
throughout every 
story line

belief a thread
now broken

this time 
our "now" time
has finally come
and gone.
