Absence, etc.

Because we’re writing a story
And reading it simultaneously
The character flaws
Under rapid reflection
The pathetic fallacy
The sheets shiver in your absence
I’m unwinding twists of fate
Petals unfolding
My love is the proliferating wildflower
Hugging more and more of the earth with every seeding
The rain soaking new soil
Dripping onto the dirt like typewriter keys onto the pages of this novel
