I keep seeing images
of you I keep walking
when your face looms up
legs first
I see you
in shop-front windows across
the road in cars driving by arm
in arm with a woman with
a friend my friend I miss
you I keep seeing
you and every time it feels
like my centre has been blasted
away you’re away
fragments flying fraying
flesh
but there you are in the
traffic in the
distance far away far
away from me
