Fugue

petals of acanthaceae

i don’t know if a day will come
without grief

your smell now strangles my soul
funny how
how funny
it once felt like an embrace

i have this memory of 23rd Street
or maybe it’s 14th or 57th ——
it’s in New York, at any rate,
where we watch a sunset
that never happened

time is a cunning thief
it slips away on good days
it hides in plain sight on bad ones

i don’t know if a day will come
without grief

your smile now suffocates my soul
how funny
funny how
it once felt

time is a cunning thief
i don’t know if a day will come without grief
