who fell through flailing images to locate

someone newly dead in metaphors and similes

of air, perfume and hovering butterflies. At least

from the address book the names are honestly gone

and when you sight one through the crossings out

bold love and bolder details return your look

as if they peered out: names and addresses

hours of wine and conversations, their

world view which you made together

now utterly bequeathed to you.

Tonia’s cemetery

This morning we visited three houses

you’d lived in, decrepit or gentrified.

My knees decrepit, your hair fresh-dyed.
