Christmastime 2023

We wiped off the muck of sitting under the long grass, where she had been keeping us waiting. We had been waiting a long time now, Sarah and I.

The other day, a strange man told me that someone named George said hi, can you believe that? He asked if I had an older brother or a cousin or someone close to me named George, as if he was delivering messages from the dead. Someone named George is worried about you… Well, the only George I know is my cat.

That’s strange, he said.

And Ashanti’s long and curling hair always a delight dancing in my eyes. And the many-colored lights that David doesn’t like.

You and I are living again.

Christmastime, 2023.

Here is the thing,

Here is the thing, I can remember it like it was yesterday, the way my dad looked at me when he said I might not make it in the real world like that. How worried he was that I could never look ahead.

And when I sit there at 3 am with you running through my head all the songs remind me of you and I listen on repeat while missing you beside me.

Of my love to you, I don’t know how to feel. Can I trust you not to hurt me? Should I light myself aflame just for the risk of loving you, what if you never love me, and I only burn and die over and over again before you. How has this become so much of me. I want to live and I want to breathe but you run circles in my head.

And who will hear you? Who will hear us? So carefully obsessing. I cannot rest at all. But now the cat is laying on me. I think I may break reaching out to you.
