Alphabet

i’m counting, counting the days since i lost you and the words not uttered between those days and every letter stuck between my teeth.
it seems i lost you in that gap between the alphabet of u and i.
maybe it’s a mistake b-ing without me, don’t you c?
i’ll spell it out for you, in every way. i’m counting my days with all the words i lost between the letters of u and i.
j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t.
i’m still here, counting. still counting.
