Without-3

Over

All over

Over and out

The word rang in my ears

She elongated the 'O'

Or was it a zero?

So hard to believe...

She tells me she has moved on

I, over.

The return is not within her power

And she feels no need.

She has none.

There is no 'O' in the word 'pursuit'.

So many years...hours...moments...all ill-spent?

All?

There is no 'O' in the word 'all'.

I believed my God who said

All that is done alone

Can be undone

When you are not alone.

But perhaps she thinks

Otherwise.

There is an 'O' in the word 'otherwise'.

A tripping gap between the words 'all' and 'over'

That's where I am.

She has nurtured the corpse in Eliot's garden.
