Sorgenkind | poetry

one day you took yourself away

it wasn’t the day

it was you

the day broke in two

with nowhere to go

I moved my legs

but I was stuck in your death

with a sense of urgency

unpreventable

and when I saw you again

you had already turned into something else

I held your hand

to understand that you’re surreal
