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 SpainΒ Β 
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.Β Β He was my first love and I miss him dearly.
