having run through the number of your days

which we did not know were ending,

but we came upon

like a fallen tree blocking the road

just after we rounded the bend.

We slammed on the breaks

and everything came to a stop -

we could see our lives frozen

in the ice of time

and we stood outside

waiting for the sun to melt us

back into a new reality -

one without you.
