The Small Peculiarities of Disappearing

When I (you) disappear
it is not the world that disappears;
it bubbles, slides, crumbles, crackles, boils, smokes
and surges

I (you) am (are) entangled in it,
it is diluted into me (you)

– but when I (you) disappear
I (you) take with me (you)
a world of “people and things”
that trickles down in spirals
with all my (your) contrivances,
brands & preferences

It’s complicated
