about the sealed box
about the sealed box
that is memory, we’ve misplaced
the key, retraced our
steps into the early aughts,
got sampled by the music

of hopelessness, we listen for
a cymbal of hope

is trying out a brand new

i must confess, two-thirds of these
memories are used, three-quarters
spent, four-fifths
indistinguishable.
every key in my possession
is rusted,
long over-
exposed,
and it has nothing
to do with neglect

in the recurrent key of
loss, we pick up dumb
instruments, focus
all peripherals on the faint
rhythmic blur of one another’s
hearts
the tendency to
outrun today
in search of tomorrow starts
as a tremolo hidden
in the pit of anger
there are no notes
to rival the scale of
morphine it will take
to pinch off this sadness
