Missing

I tried to grab you chase
the cat’s eye marble 
clouding your eyes so startled 
as I pulled you back
from the edge of wherever you stood
the boy who refused to carry a standard.
Tried to wrap my arms 
around why you
remained an empty outline
a Morse Code of dots and dashes
a password of avalantic disaster.
