Now,
the question is
How-
to block certain thoughts
When I look at the clock
"oh, he's still asleep"
or
"He must be awake now"
or
"it's 1:43,
time to remind him of me"
How-
to stop longing for him
to see what I see
"look baby,
the moon tonight is lovely-
remember how we named him Jerry?'
How
to want hard enough
not to want
this yearning.
to start erasing
each and every Mark
How
How
How
when he is tattooed everywhere-
glistening in the sun,
glowing in the dark.
