how many memories
have you lost already
those where no one leaves you
where you were afraid everyone would
where you are naked for the first time in front of me
like a failed simile or a lonely pier during a storm
where there were no good goodbyes
but no bad ones either
where i wait a little longer than usual
to doubt the impossibility of forever
where i know that doubting is the problem
where the solution isn’t found in i
where you hide behind a dinner menu
at the mouth of a river of dim sum and kisses
where we are alone in toronto
dressed in light
undressed by darkness
where cool fingers slowly warm the moment of
isn’t this serene
isn’t it beautiful
where it isn’t wasn’t can’t be
where we fight wonderfully
where we detest naturally
where we blame totally
where we wake to a broken morning
that is stringing
this thing along on the horizon
to choke out the sun with dental lining
that makes you remind me daily
to floss
to remember
always remember
there is nothing more
than memory smiling
but i find
i don’t anymore
what about you
