It was alone when I felt most far away

Yesterday before I slept
I imagined myself without you,
and my stomach cartwheeled and kicked
and the air in my room
was compressed into a cube
and dropped onto my chest
and it was heavy without really trying
and cumbersome in its size
and stayed pressed upon me
until I gathered up my thoughts
and counted our days.
