Alphabet
I had 22 keys
that thought
to leave me
so I can only
write to you
in a, in c...
There are a few syllables
that I can still guess
but even those
I can't see clearly
through you.
Now you're just
a phonetic gap
a pixel on the keyboard
of my left hand.
I don't even know
if I love you
because I don't have
the letters
or the concept
of love.
I lost 22 keys
and all I can do
is scratch my ear
and maybe
I'll hear a new you.
