Suddenly I’m not,
And never here, lost
As if I’d never been,
Not even shredded rags
At the bottom of thunder,
Not a blue light
Circumnavigating
The planet, not even a rock.
I wish I could wonder
What I had been here then,
Before you never knew me,
And after you hadn’t known,
After you hadn’t memorized me,
The tip top of your hat
With nothing forever under.
