Skin

Take a new place in with
new time. We could be
anywhere with
anyone, but you
chose to be
here.

Or there. And
there is so far
away from my
here.

Begin to shed the
skin that came in layers
and slowly unravels
cell by cell,
color sometimes lost
and left behind.

I should have taken
our picture, I should
have recorded it so
that we could remember.
I don't know how
I could possibly forget.
How we could walk
away like it is fall
and we are leaves on trees.
I will fall head first
into the ground.

Where are you?
