you saw it all

the universe knew
I was calling you

it saw me leave my door
run for the bus
and chase time across
an empty parking lot

to a darkened door.
it saw.

it knew I’d be too late
and yet it sat and watched
and sat in wait.

unspeaking
unsaying
unshowing
unmoving.

I don’t know chess
but I’m breathing in black
and wondering why white
went awol


and in your own Game
universe – where you come first
you knew best
it would end up worst.


you saw it all


you watched me run for miles in the dark
but he was gone (of course )
when I got there

and then you watched
me fall.
