Omnipresent

It’s been twenty eight days

Since I wrote a single word

I was lost within the caverns

In the depths of my own mind

Looking for you

Scraping up every shred

Of every memory

I could find

Clutching them to me

So I would not forget

More than I already had

The problem came

When they slipped through my fingers

Like sand crystals falling

To the cavern floor

Absorbed into the reaches

The cracks and fissures twisting

Between my neurons

Falling down into my brain stem

Stuck there

Next to the life functions

The basic body programs

Embedding thoughts of you

In every single thing I do

Now that the time has passed

I have returned to the page

But everything is about you

Every line in every poem

Every letter in my name

You leak out of every pen

Just like every breath

My lungs now take

You are stuck everywhere

The unremembered memories

The ghosts of happy moments

Lurk within my body

Haunting my blood vessels

Flavoring my tongue

With the sense of you

Every movement

Every moment

Every thought and beat of heart

Bring me back to you
