Toothbrush / Trash |
Today I just felt it for the first time |
Three months and one day after you died |
I realized that these photographs we have of you |
Are slowly replacing the subtle familiar |
Memory of what it’s like |
To know you’re in the other room |
To hear you singing on the stairs |
A movement, a pine cone, your squeaking chair |
The quiet, untreasured, in between times |
The actual experience of you here |
I can feel these memories escaping |
Colonized by photos, narrowed down and told |
My mind erasing |
The echo of you in the house dies down |
October wind blows |
It makes a door close |
I look over my shoulder to make sure |
But there is nobody here |
I finally took out the upstairs bathroom garbage that was sitting there |
forgotten since you were here |
Wanting just to stay with us |
Just to stay living |
I threw it away |
Your dried out, bloody, end-of-life tissues |
Your toothbrush and your trash |
And the fly buzzing around the room, could that possibly be you too? |
I let it go out the window |
It does not feel good |
