Photos few and far between
We all wanted you to come home
We begged for your survival
stood witness to your soul
Warmer
Friendlier
More Inviting
In the back of my
damp
dark
Apartment
I have paced
sorted laboriously through
Piles of history
that don't belong
within these walls
The entirety of a year
fits perfectly on one small page
Ticktock ticks inside the stomach
