Ellipsism
Entombed by the melancholia of missing out on a future together
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space
Or so they say
Within the depths
Of star-scattered galaxies
Floating in this aeonian void
Her screams were all that I could auralize
Amplified a million times
Attained crescendo
My mind tormented me with all her screams
Her scream of ebullience
When I returned home after several months
Her scream of incredulity
When I said I'm leaving again on another mission
Her scream of denial
When I told her how long I'll be gone
Her scream of devastation
When I said I might not survive to return to Earth
Her scream of agony
When I bid her farewell
The loop repeated continuously
A never-ending cacophonous mantra
Incipient epiphany
Do I need this pyrrhic victory?
Is my mission worth losing her?
Losing me?
Losing us?
Isn't there a panacea for this?
I reminisced our halcyon
Our propinquity
I'm unable to handle this anymore
A scream of anguish left my throat
I'm glad it cannot travel through vacuum
Because I wouldn't want her to hear me perish
Cerebrally
Corporeally
Permanently

I First Saw Him
When I first saw him sitting on the wall, relaxed and looking out over the water, I was sure he wasn't a local. Not including children, there are only about 250 or 300 of us in this area full-time, though that number is ten-fold in the summer, and I know everyone at least by sight or by family resemblance. And yet, the way he sat looked familiar and started my mind sorting and discarding among the families I knew, not quite like this one, not quite like that one.

I like idea of these different sounds coming back to him. It's like tormenting patience on her part.
