Singularity

 You're the sort of person

Who steps off a corner into traffic 

As though the headlights like everything else

 

Were too slow to touch you

 

The last night you were here

 

I never saw you


But your passage was marked by a convulsion of light


As on all sides bright insubstantial chatter


Turned raw and vitreous before rending

 

All you ever leave behind is a lack
