we pretend
our bodies can
endure anything –
a migraine,
a tooth extraction,
a pulled muscle,
the passage of time

during the fifth

during the fifth
anniversary of your
passing, we were
and were no longer
residuals. i didn’t
say anything, you
didn’t say
anything, but our
bodies sighed
infinitives –
to live, to live,
to touch, to
endure –
nothing
so finite

come and go,
and the days
in between are
ours to fill
