What happens after

Johanna M. Vining

waiting for a connection

     some sense that I am not utterly alone

thoughts: this meandering restless ness

     resting place not comforted

hours, an evening

     flame out

You’s --- a seemingly endless number

eyes switching shut: left, right, switch

could be and happened

it happened and I am a mere distraction

he asked me once, “what are you doing with all these yous?”

and I couldn’t answer

but he wasn’t you.

he’s never you.
