about the sealed box
about the sealed box
that is memory, we’ve misplaced

perhaps there is no
perhaps there is no

as natural as a
forgotten sequence, prompted
by simply remembering

in every moment

words look for throats in
which to get caught, hands clasp and

all day, i keep
all day, i keep
forgetting that you
left us this morning,
and even now, when
i quiet my heart to
take in the news, i

you called eight years

as he sat in his favorite
chair, and then
you were reading.
tonight, i am not ready
for the details just yet.
there are no brave
messengers. you are
gone, but not yet gone

sooner or later,
sooner or later,
or for some time already,
we will find ourselves
in the same shoes, one

many who conjure
corporate legalese
that secures them
a place at the table –
in the board room,
we are all little men,
forgetting
and unforgetting
we do this to ourselves

forgetting and
forgetting and
remembering are two
sides of the same
coin – there is
no remembering
without forgetting,
a lightening

every twenty-third
every twenty-third
day, the thought of you cancels
out the other days –
how to submit without giving
in, give in without submitting
