for a number of
days, weeks, months, or even years,
there will be humming-

birds in the backyard searching
for the lost rose of sharon

two months in, mashi
has only known snow – imagine
spring, oh, the mischief

it takes months of work

it takes months of work
to be able to steal fresh mint
from our own garden

some months will weigh much

some months will weigh much
heavier than others – stop,
reach out, share the load

by week two, we are

by week two, we are
begging
for less excitement,
waiting
to be buried
under a
weighted blanket,
to drown
in a couple
more months of hot
chocolate

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

maybe for a couple

maybe for a couple
of months, it’ll hurt.
maybe for a couple
more, i’ll still
notice. after
that, the body
promises relief
and release – life
contemplates
death in bite-sized
servings, small
addicting
doses
to propel life
towards death
