coming up
with
sweet ideas
like
feeding the ducks
and birds
with our
left over
bread,
ways
to get us
breathing
outside air,
he
comes up with
hope
at every
turn.
that
is why
i loved him.
he becomes
aquariums,
zoos,
and other
inhabited places
parks,
the sounds
of children
laughing
babies crying
the sight of
balloons
the taste of
candy.
seperation
will make me
remember
this.
soon my
own heart
will be shoved
into
its own
hope
its own
dispair.
