soul-mate

by Emma Eggen

The tarot girls on youtube say I’ll fall in love soon.

I don’t know what to do
about the tragedies and revolution and persistent doom.

Instagram man says telepathy is real
and I knew.

1 month

2 years
but when you think of me, I think of you too.

You’re shameless.
I’m a coward.
Another Life on repeat.
We won’t be changing any time soon.

Love is timeless, she says.

Not in this life
but somewhere,
we continue
