Forgotten

and this--this place of time--
where I have found
where you have found

such ruinous gods as each other

You
I swear did not love
before
but now because I've forgotten

I've forgotten
you
me

I've become
perhaps less
and the reason neither
you
me--
we who meant to walk the earth as giants--

you
nothing much

me
nothing much

This is done with a fragment of Sappho's work...I mean I took one of her fragments and wrote words around it. If you've never run across her, she was a very famous poet sometime in the BC, and all that is left of her work are fragments. They're pretty interesting.
