of the innumerable
of the innumerable
ways to mourn, i
am negotiating grief
in REM sleep this
morning, consoling
a young colleague
in the art of letting
it out, letting
go, an unsteady
navigation of
space, time, and
reality – on your
birthday, in the nearly
third anniversary of
your passing, we
practice the improbable
parallels of joy and
grief, keeping it
together without
so much
disassembling

in the end, every
in the end, every
kiss is a bookmark, buried
in time as a place-
holder, a souvenir, a
shuttle, to recall our stories

onto you as imperfectly
as you tried to hold
onto me, across time and
unexpected terrain, tongue-tied

when the city was
when the city was
finally returned to
us after one
too many decades,
everything appeared
smaller and
felt bigger,
weighed
less and left
deeper
impressions, a
kaleidoscopic memory
of memories

an inventory
an inventory
of loves, longing
to be renewed:
that sci-fi series
we binge-watched
last year, returning
for season two
on a service we
have recently
cancelled
two dozen zhong zi,
glutinous rice with secrets
tucked inside bamboo
leaves, wrapped and bound
together by grandma’s
hands, freshly
steamed
your presence
in that lengthening
hour when all of
a sudden we
discovered one another
after so many years
apart

scenes from letting go –
scenes from letting go –
remembering to forget

perhaps time travels

to us when we are sound asleep,
rummages in the
pockets of her pleated skirt

we paused on the edge
we paused on the edge
of the pacific ocean
for as long as we
needed, holding in silence all
those years when we were denied
