Poem: January 5, 2026

New


The you who was you yesterday

no longer exists, truly, no matter

how successful or lost, disappointing

or wondrous. That you is gone,

swallowed like wine from a chalice

or poison from a cup. And the you

who just read that is gone, too,

leaving only the you who is you, fading

every moment, as people tend to do.
