Loss has verbs in its pockets.
X was
and now isn’t.
Y notices
that X was and now isn’t.
X was here, now X is gone.
Loss is sly ownership.
Absence rings, tapped crystal.
Loss sings the rim.
X lost Y, X feels lost.
Loss has no appetite.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness

THE RULE OF THUMB
by T.P.Winch
Ringfinger was nervous
Pinky terrified
when they learned
that Hand might succumb
to the rule of Thumb.
