Liminal Haze

typing…

typing… gone

Blue light on my face

Half past three

Your name at the top

Looking back at me

Three little dots Then nothing again I put the phone down

Pick it up again You’re still typing I’m still awake

Something is coming Something gets erased You’re still typing Then you disappear

Almost a sentence Almost here

The screen goes dark I see my reflection

Light it again Still no message

Maybe you wrote

Everything I wanted

Maybe you wrote

“Don’t wait for me” You’re still typing I’m

still awake

Three little dots Then they

fade away You’re still typing I’m still here Almost a sentence

Almost clear typing… typing… typing…

say it don’t say it don’t I saw— I thought— I—

The dots came back for half a second.

You’re still typing Or maybe

you’re not

Maybe

I’m watching

An

empty little

box

You’re

still typing

Somewhere in my head All of the things you never said typing…
