In my memories you will always
Catch the sword as the music crests
And, gather the cars and warm the room
With long long looping wires that tether
Me, to a moment of lost papers returned
You'll always be on the roof
Me, nervous you'll fall, albeit you are
Invincible and Dynamic. Eternal
We built a chair with no instructions
And told the bourgeoisie to go home
I said the thing and blazed red waiting your response
I'll still hear your hundreds of stories.
Doctor, sailor, lawyer, secretary, and spy
I'll hear your rumors, the incriminating
Screen snips of the gossip, the tea spilled
Like the water from broken pipes on 3rd
You'll be traveling. The south of Mexico
And tour of all the ballpark
They'll be quirky earrings with black cats
Enamel pins and memes, shared like jail house smokes. There will be a crack of lacrosse sticks, a sound I've never heard but remember through you.
I've finished mourning
The space around gets bigger, the loss
Stays the same; gnawing, dull, toxic
When Isolated, it loses its bite and
Toothless, you revert to better memories
And, the sobering dawn that we are
Each other's history
