Real Death |
Death is real, someone’s there and then they’re not |
And it’s not for singing about; |
it’s not for making into art |
When real death enters the house, all poetry is dumb |
When I walk into the room where you were |
And look into the emptiness instead |
All fails |
My knees fail |
My brain fails |
Words fail |
Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw, I go downstairs and outside and you |
still get mail |
A week after you died, a package with your name on it came |
And inside was a gift for our daughter you had ordered in secret, |
and collapsed there on the front steps I wailed: |
A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now |
You were thinking ahead to a future you must have known deep down would not |
include you, though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down, |
being swallowed into a silence that is bottomless and real |
It’s dumb, and I don’t want to learn anything from this |
I love you |
