Tiger

You beautiful idiot. 

Struck dumb
By the impossibility of the distance
Between our realities
We whisper mutely
That we miss.

Our coherence sucked into this
Black hole that erupted from the mouth
Of a flight attendant who screamed at you
To tell you,
That phones must be put away whilst taking off.

The  pupil of
Your right eye bleeds a tiny
Chocolate pool into your tiger-flecked iris,
And I saw myself
Growing larger in your eyes,
One last time.

Goodbye, love.
You've given me more than you can know.
