another time, in
another universe                     
 
when you were supposed to be born
but then you weren’t               
 
when I was overwhelmed you were here
and then you weren’t
 
my words won’t breed whispers
your name won’t bear notes and
 
while the medic carried clean machines         
my body kept on breathing                                                     
 
                                                a dead tiger
 
maybe it is not about another time
maybe it is just not meant to be 
 
and past the sound of rain, it sounds 
another universe.
