Dec 2012
baby, little boy
with bones of steel and ice
hate coiled in your stomach
like
barbed wire
i see you so clearly, on the edge
of that rooftop in Spain  
wind pushing your hair back,
arms spread, unafraid
The descent-
how beautiful you are, falling
i wish i could have been by your side
and held your hand
as we dove into the concrete
like
angels in reverse
My close friend committed suicide in Barcelona this summer.  He was my first love and I miss him dearly.
