A Person Can Grow Apart Like A Continental Drift

a person can grow apart like a continental drift
a shifting of plates or float over time by
increments so that you do not notice at first

their shadow crumbling on the ground
and then you find
they're just no longer here

on a sunny day where clouds

were now there's only air, deep space,
in the few seconds
 you looked away
