morning flight, homebound,
yesterday’s memories spread wings,
day’s constellations

new memories catch
new memories catch
old memories, crossing the
east river by boat

just before bedtime,
just before bedtime,
fireworks –
i press down hard
on these pages so
that the memories
will keep,
as a reminder
or a suggestion
for future summers

in the end, memories
in the end, memories
will be the things i used to
collect, missing parts

perhaps months,
perhaps months,
years from now, these
days will become
foggy, it’s how our
minds insist on
playing games with
our hearts – now you see
me, now you don’t –
we have no choice as
witnesses, obligated
to make out every
fine detail in the
heightened haze

forty-three hours have
forty-three hours have
passed since we lost you. i hide
the details from my-
self, don’t get too close to the
edges for fear of falling

remember that year
remember that year
when we lost so
many… was the
joy ever worth
the long
aches afterwards?
everyone tries
these words
in their mouths
many times before
spitting them out.
they’re unswallowable
by any muscles
so the human spirit
keeps taking the bait
