Suddenly,
Playing games like house are
Lingering in my mind as we joke about lobotomies.
It would be simpler, you said, easier to endure the world.
No words lend comfort though, even in our laughter.
The light is gone from your eyes, and yours, and yours, and mine.
Every one of us feeling an unimaginable splintering as our bodies are
Ripped away.
I can’t move from this seat.
No way, we said.
Going back is not an option.
