Keep
When Pete drove infinity’s car into the water,
all points converged. A startled matrix grew
from his dead body.
Stephanie became night smoke.
On a paper note she passed from tree to ash,
burning in a rush.
Sarah twisted in bed with nothing,
her lungs cracking jokes
as she dreamt and dreamt the coming dissolution.
Everything must die. Kelly knew.
She broke herself against a wall.
I begged, “But we must keep weaving one another”
