This love is like the ghost of Schrödinger’s dead cat

I’m sure my moans could carry
across 4000 miles. More maybe.
They go as the crow flies when I think
you’re in another woman’s bed.
I have my fingers crossed
against it— the thought of your closed curves,
your celestial bodies ascending
in euphony…
nauseating—
warm hands, heads, tongues;
caresses are just speculative structures and, god,
I’m linking them all,
killing Spacetime.
Your disparate points should be mine.

In another version, somewhere,
a ghost cat stuck up an impossibly branched tree;
its non-stop crying across dimensions
for the you
who wants to be with me
can be heard right through Earths 1-42.

This is such a raw and powerful expression of longing and heartache. The imagery of distance and the crow’s flight adds a haunting quality to it. Writing like this really captures the depth of emotion. Have you written more in this style? It feels like there’s a whole story behind these lines. Visit us today to learn more.
