Summary: Even split seconds can last forever.
Author’s Note: Sorry I’ve been gone! I had four 12-hour workdays in a row since tomorrow is my last day at my current job… eck.

"…the world is made of hellos and goodbyes,"
and the cosmic element of surprise i felt when i found you one late summer
and left in a spring,
leaving you bereft and blotting everything we had in between with a messy,
black
withdraw.

monday and friday and the sun and the clock go cheaply, centrifugal and galloping,
incessant like stormwater.
and beneath dark trees i remeasure the split second flicker in your eyes
-- when i met you
-- when i left
mere sickles if time is money, yet my mind pays dearly to keep them.
