when you took the stars for granted
when you were 11

for bringing us mornings that taste like leftovers and sound
like last night's debate replaying on TV.
thank you
for giving us the song of the radio:

breathing softly against my ear
the promise of always
until that too falls apart. -

the feeling of her name is familiar on your tongue as you choke out -
you, again.
i ask myself how it can be so hard
to stop loving someone you never truly knew.
then i remember your eyes that glistened like a copper penny,
your voice pouring like
