you went missing in july
and I set out to find you, so
i traveled through farmlands
and burnt forests, scoured by
the wildfires of may
and i lost the scent in april
but found you again in autumn
the summer’s heat a memory
about to fade, face to face
with you in september
in a mirror i couldn’t help
but break, though i followed your trail
to november, nimbly skipping
through october’s leaves (i left)

and it forked in december,
west or east, i can’t remember
the words you used to use
to paint a picture of the place
you’d be, when our promises came to be
and our brief memories were all awash
in a brilliant sea of lights and colors -
fleeting gold and flowing green -

the fireworks of july
where i lost you on a beach
you went missing and,
i nearly lost myself.
