of someone —
they've got to
let you in on

his shape within me — and there
are these spaces he
left wide open — places that
I have not learned to close yet

you're in the water — best crossed

offered me your cig — wished you

photo that always reminds
me how I wanted
to have kids with you, and you
did have kids — just not with me
