eat myself to death

indulged on the delicacies of life
freedom, beauty, manifestations of dreams
now alone, teapot streaming - lavender
clouds diffuse the view

i can hear my distant heart beating,
our footsteps in rhythm. how can our atom
be split? our high potential energy
locked up somewhere else

current strolls on busy streets
in New York City, where we said we would be
I alone walk, wearing a pretend ring on my left
I say "I am in love" when strangers ask.
