Trajectory
Lost
Four years ago
In a dash
Across the country
Momma dying
Can’t recover
Reaching for the phone
To hear her voice
Text stream
She’ll never
Respond again
Trajectory
In slow motion
Time stands still
Sludge
Nothing is the same
Baby blues
Missed laughter
July pain
Grief swells
Without warning
Unconscious realization
Four years ago
In a dash
Across country
I lost
My trajectory
And time
Has stood still
I will never
Be the same again
But that whisper
Tickles
My brain
That becomes a
Scream
A rage
You
Will
When
You’re
Ready
Trajectory
I miss her
Every
Single
Day
