"Solitaire" - poem

This was written today, December 22, 2009.

It completes my transfers from the Lovelyish blogs.

Solitaire
(Yule, 2009. In memory of Marcus Erik Eliot, January 6, 1978 -- November 16, 1997)

We two were one
But now I am only
One alone --
And lonely.

We two were one,
And minus you
I am only one:
Half of two.

Half of what I was
When we two were
One.
Uncoupled from you
And only one
Alone.
