no coming back
long gone
stepped off the edge
and left, no coming back
why me why me why not
who else is there
if not me
alone and afraid
stepping up brave faced
to a world of only one
split like an atom with no
explosion
lost in the once familiar
uncomfortable in my safe place
a lifetime of riches
now beggared by the unthinkable
reach out and gather what is left
floating particles of self and sameness
homeless in the vacuum of loss
who changed the rules
and why
