“Vision blurred / but I could feel / the one place / the last of you / stayed in my heart.”

“the table needs you”

“the way my heart, having known / you, will continue to echo cavernously / even after your love is chiseled out / from the other crevices of me: / my mind, my soul, my fingernails, etc.”

“When at last we crashed into the shore, /I prayed —I still pray— to the moon’s pull, / to bring us home.”
