new neurons bump

new neurons bump
into older neurons,
triggering mental and
muscular gymnastics,
stumbling across
the language of liszt’s
la campanella,
accepting that
a mountain is taller
than a mountain

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

i am twenty-three

i am twenty-three
galaxies away from finding
you – so vast, and yet,
like the number of
signs you leave
across towns and
cities, still measurable

maybe we shouldn’t

maybe we shouldn’t
rule out that there are
new molecular
connections here, a
dendritic extension
able to achieve
supplementary
information transmission
with each neuron
synapse, so that
between day 536
and day 578, more
filters through, i
am seeing
through your eyes

with only a hundred

with only a hundred
billion neurons
meeting and
unmeeting within
each galaxy of one
individual, we profess
to knowing where
we are going
when we take
one another’s hand

between this bite and

between this bite and
the next, an unfathomable
number of synapses
and you, caught
in the dendrites,
encoding, retrieving,
encoding, retrieving

our skin is wired

our skin is wired
with neurons devoted to
the most fleeting of
touches –
it’s how we are able
to feel the last second
of the year
with so much
joy, so much fear

at the edge of

since memories are

since memories are
formed, then rebuilt
each time
they are
accessed, may next
year be easier, on the
anniversary of your
death, may our
neurons stop
passing along this
unbearable sadness
