her coffee was cold.

pine and cigarette smoke

lingered in her bedroom.

she missed him, but she knew she shouldn't.


there was a rock in her stomach.

like a paperweight, it held her down

and pulled her through the floor.

into the ground, never to be seen again.


she floated through the earth

catching snippets of the world

around her. dirt filled her nose.

she never thought the earth would be so warm.


mother nature wrapped her arms

around her and filled her head

with images of him. she missed

him, but unlike the rock in her stomach, he was gone.
