This is an autobiographical piece based on a conversation I had with my ex-partner. I am very much a subscriber of the paradox of “nothing matters, but everything also matters,” which he did not believe.
“nothing matters,” you say
as we both lay
under my window.
“nothing matters,” I say
“but isn’t it what
we each make of it?”
I miss your hands on mine.
