I dug through
shelves
and rows
of tapes

cassette tapes
that made
me think
of you
and of myself
and of summer in
the ballet
studio
dancing
until
I
  could
not
  breathe

5 for 99 cents
where I can
take a moment
take a breath
take some time
while they
rewind

everything
changes
and nobody takes any
time
in an instant
tapes are gone

just like
the
day
you died.
