speed.of.memory


i forgot how to mourn today
letting the dead stay buried wasn't the easiest thing to do
but they haven't moved yet

he called today
before i answered the phone i smiled
he didn't say anything

"hey. how are you?"

he said words to me until i had to go
three minutes and fifty-four seconds later

i wonder why he called.
i hadn't a moment to myself to breathe all day.
rushing from building to building
like a bee steering from
iris to daisy to tulip

although i haven't thought today-
i'm still glad that my only breath
was wasted on him.
