when the litter of
when the litter of
spring blossoms crosses canal
street in late April,
a petal or two will stray
into side alleys, searching
for the real chinatown

there’s a new haircut
there’s a new haircut
feeling about loss –
how, even after days or
weeks, you are learning
to re-recognize yourself
in the mirror, and stray
snippets keep loosening
and falling off
when you shower,
blow-dry, each a
memory
to be washed down
or somehow recovered

in a couple of weeks
in a couple of weeks
you will no longer
be able to tell
where the mend is
this is what she promised
the afternoon she tried
and after time had passed
when i found that i could still
lay a finger on it
i saw her again
if you could stop
dwelling
for even one
morning with me, it will
go away
this is her response
an escapist guess, at best
and on the morning i stopped
the room was empty
a loose goodbye to chew on
a stray silence
