Poem for this evening - Magic 9 poem:

“everything stopped when you said goodbye”

I didn’t notice a thing

when the words poured out

didn’t hear the birds sing

or notice the trees stop swaying

how could I notice anything

when you said goodbye to me

those little lines still sting

frozen in place, I can’t get out

so I diminish into nothing
