black hole

I completely lost an hour or two this morning

Having no memory of anything at the time

Learning later how I appeared in a blank dream state

Giving such a fright to my dearest companion.

Just like that here one minute gone the next

Unsuspecting whatever suddenly swept me away

Though I like hearing you tell me that I apologized

Being aware that you were distressed.

An experience like being sound asleep awake perhaps

So odd to hear that when you mentioned our planned destination

I kept telling you that I had dreamed of going there

Having completely lost it repeating myself without recollection.

Such a humbling frightful collapse of everything that is me

Like disappearing into a timeless black hole caught by surprise

Leaving unexpectedly unable to say goodbye

Wishing now I told you more often how much I love you.

Of course I will be gone one day but not today I think

Always another year ahead of us to do things together

How could I forget that all we have is today to cherish

Life so transient ending in a kind of global amnesia.
