After your memorial service I spent time with one of your partners, a cam star, along with a mutual friend who was also your **** dealer. We smoked shimmering moon rocks, exchanged books, and took pictures. I wanted to mobilize, but didn’t know what for. My body felt electric at the root, ready for action, if only I knew what.
We all said we would keep in touch, and I desperately wish we had.
I never got my books back.
So many things fell apart when you died.
This piece is part of a collection of poems about my best friend's death. Constructive criticism welcome!
