‘My Friend, What Happened’ by Lucy Storer
Waves brush the fog
Wrecking down
Not leaving much behind
Save what’s extinguished of itself
Night arrives
You’re not to touch
Your threadbare scent has long since worn
I wonder what became of you my friend
It seems you’re at the other side of the world
A different cosmos far from me
And distance is a chokehold
Upon anything
Wonderful consciousness
Sends me back to you most days
Emotions rock my being
I pray i’m remnant in you, like you me
Our hands have long since coupled
Eyes have years divided
Scattered deep inside
I grasp you’re okay
Our souls intertwined through darkened avenues
Unlapping near hope
Where one day i dream we’ll meet
My friend.
