we are observing
another anniversary
of your death, when
all of a sudden, years
are pressed more
tightly together, days
are returned with
renewed polish,
and our centers
are suspended, not quite
sure which way to topple

i’ve traveled one-

i’ve traveled one-
thousand-and-ninety-
six days to manage

longing steadfast.
when your absence
bends each moment
into an unshakeable
mirage, with every
sunrise hangs an
unspeakable thirst

across two calendars
the anniversary of his
death has begun, on the
fifth of january, in
this lunar new year
four-thousand-and-
eleven. there are
advantages to
measuring time
this way, but losing
someone twice
each year is
immeasurable
