For today’s prompt, write a future poem.
Oneiri ma.li
That robot they sent
in place of you
as if it could replace
anyone
or distract me from you.
I knew
With each rocket they sent to destruction
that the prisoner they killed
was never you,
your heart still beating
after each spectacular crash,
an echo in my chest.
I knew
they hadn’t killed you yet.
I knew
I would breathe your breath again.
I knew.
They could never stop me knowing.
