and when my cora says that he’s tired that he’s weak I sit down by his side and plant a kiss on his cheeks and from these seeds they grow wild red wild rose red I stand up and sing glenn miller or judy garland and then he shuts his eyes and he dreams or at least sleeps

i could watch you skip across the parking lot with a stupid grin i could lay next to you staring at the ceiling while you read every night i feel every night i feel you i feel you disappear sometimes i forget i can hear the skips everything is skips and life begins to slow life begins to stop my heart threatens to stop i see you on tv i see you in a dream and i see you standing here death is not the word there isn’t just one word there’s more to it than that please don’t go away please don’t go away please don’t go away

I wake up in the morning I want the day to be over. I see your face in the sky and on the wings of the plover. I haven’t been this upset since last October when I found out you were gone. The last of the moths (the ones that weren’t crushed) have found a quiet place to die. You wear them like a mask. A delicate layer between the two of us. And now you’re under water and slowly the mask lifts. It floats to the surface. It begins to fall apart. And I pick the pieces out of the tub. And I eat every single one.

swimming on our backs moving the water with our tails hand in hand holding tight to this dream like it’s real - but it’s not real and after a long illness my body covered in spots my limbs falling off at the joints and sleepless nights in humidity I can still almost feel it in my hand I can still almost feel my tail

It’s impossible (or improbable) that I will make it in the world - in your world. I don’t know. I guess I say that a lot but I don’t know. It’s true. I don’t know which way the sea bleeds. I don’t know which way the tide is going. I don’t know.

and I’ve been missing you for over a year now where are you when I need you? (you are by my side your spirit is always by my side) where was I when you needed me? (on the other side of the country) I hope you didn’t ask why I hope you knew why I wish I knew why I wish I was there and seriously you are my heart now the thoughts of you keep things going every second you keep things going the day I forget you is the day that I die and the day I deserve to die.
