just an update
i flooded the basement
with your favorite beer.
i missed the big election.
i heard the black guy won.
did you pull a lever?
i would have voted
for your name.
i introduced myself
to that bum. i paid him
2 liters to sing puccini
all night. your favorite.
i had that dream again.
i climbed your ribcage
and you squealed.
did you know we’re
both alive? i don’t mind.
i’m all out of those pills
you left. it’s an excuse to call.
i’m not going to call.
yesterday i ruined our mattress.
i cut a circle around the spot
where you wrote
your name. i took it in
but they said nothing
could fill the hole.
