four winds are blowing at this place we've always loved

There’s water near by. Usually a scent I could pick up so easily but it’s late and I’m tired and the tree has been my focus for miles. I heard they took you here. They found you beside me in our bed and carried you away to this place you loved to lie you down. They tried to convince me to stay but I wont I’m coming for you. I will lie beside you and weep until it takes me too. I tried to do it alone but that moon that watched us fall for hours is so different now. Instead of a comforting fuzzy light suspended in the sky it has inverted and is now a gaping hole in the atmosphere and it’s pulling me towards it and everything I once knew is falling in after. I had to get out. I screamed your name but you didn’t come to me. I was angry with you for leaving and me for not leaving instantly with you. it freed me momentarily from the fall. For that instant I ran. I’ve been going barefoot for miles and the sun is starting to rise. In the pink light and starry breeze our tree is stretching its aged limbs, carefully cracking its knobby joints. I can feel that it is changed with you, I can feel where you stretch with underneath, reaching for me. I crawl with bruised hands and scraped knees in the mossy grass above you. The water smell has drowned in earthy dirt. We’re getting closer.
