You Are Gone, You Will Stay Gone

You are gone, you will stay gone, and I will
Soon step out into the rain or sun and
This will not change. I will look at a still
Pond surface after a storm and demand
Nothing. The hawk kills the mouse and knows he
Can kill no more; the ability to
Affect is gone. He does not mourn. I see
Now how the creation remains when you,
Part-Creator, are gone. Little-God! But
Why did you build a world only to leave
It bereft? Set it aflame, and in soot
And ash bury it. Flood it like a sieve--
But do not drain it; one who made so well
A Heaven can easily make a Hell.
