- for melissa
the reason i keep wishing
i would stop remembering
the way your face went blank
as you seizured on my birthday
and your body went rigid
falling backwards like a tree
is that it was the first moment
since i met you
that i thought
you had ceased to exist
and that 30 second space
before i was able to feel your heartbeat again
was a glimpse into a place
i cannot accept.
the world only makes sense
when you are in it.
