you had and lost the one thing

Flat

Swallow them whole
four or five at a time
Do you feel it yet?
It's just routine
Twelve years of escaping
replacing
daddy's grief with
manufactured happiness

Gone by now without it
and with it: incomplete
A body, an experiment,
a lifeless present
to the cold-blooded
orderlies in suits
