how do you get to a point
when you no longer
recognize the person
you are- when the hands
you've watched every day
become two strangers
hanging on your arms, when
your words taste dry and
sour rolling off your own tongue?
more importantly, how do
you find your way back?

today was the type
of day I know you
love and if you had
been around (and we
were the kind of
normal we used to
be) we would have
stood at the big doors
side
by
side
and watched the drops
run down the length
of the windows and
you would have leaned
down close, whispered
"I wish we were out in
that" and squeezed my
arm the way I liked.
I miss you.

do I still haunt the
                    air
at that house? do you see me
stretched out on the floor
in front of that coffee
table you built,
does my laugh echo out
from the
bedroom, do you smell
my shampoo on that one
white blanket I loved so
much, do you hear me
softly
whisper "hey" when you
walk past the studio, do
you go around the place I
stood in the middle of the
kitchen on the Fourth of
July and accidentally



dropped

my lemonade on
the carpet? does
                                    anything
remind you of me?

it's comforting to know that
someday my skin will
forget what it feels
like to touch
yours

today you looked
across the table at
me. you said, "I
think you were
too scared of me."
but I wasn't scared
not of you
no
no
never I just needed
you so much that
it terrified me.

He called and told
me, "I'm so glad you
answered the phone."
and it was nice to
know that there
was someone out
there who was
happy to hear my
voice.

I wonder if you
looked for me
in the crowd
around you in
that tiny little
bar. I don't know
if I should have
shown up. Were
you waiting for
me did you
glance at the door
in anticipation
did you expect
me to walk in
and find my
spot next to you?
That's not my
place anymore
don't you know
that?
