let us launch into
between holding it all
because we all live
because we all live

seven paces to
seven paces to
the atlantic, it comes up
to measure me and
my intent.
eventually, the
waves will rise
to chest-level, so
cold that i will
no longer have to
say the things i
need to say
because there
will be a numbness
that simply forgets

maybe for a couple
maybe for a couple
of months, it’ll hurt.
maybe for a couple

addicting
doses
to propel life
towards death

age rubs up against
me, plays tricks with my
tongue, offers and
pulls away
the words i mean to
say. in a little
while, i will be
of no use,
and still,
we will hang on
to each other
for as long as we can

years later, we are
still trying to pull through –
one forgetfulness
at a time. there’s no such thing
as a full recovery

somewhere, you have
somewhere, you have
misplaced the memory
of…that thing we
did…that made you
smile. even on
tiptoes, we cannot
reach where it may
be shelved, dust
it off for
old times’ sake
