The Split

The split of a life atom,
in a single call.
A night, bright
phone, screaming words.

Freeze, frame, click, click
Shutter! Snap! Wallop!
Every
atomised, second
caught.
A wide eyed aperture in focus.

Gone.
You
are
gone.

Knees, floor
crushed.
Wet faced words
drown me.

Fog falls,
I stand up,
walk out into the night.
Lost.
