Eleven Days
clock ticks,
clock ticks,
sun
rises, crosses
sky,
sets. i used to
call your
name each
day: here.
we promise
to visit:
let me know. we
never do.
not once.
no big deal.
we were busy.
until
today. i was told
the crash was eleven
the crash was eleven
days ago.
in my mind you
were still
alive, smiling,
eleven
days longer.
somehow i
missed
the news,
missed the
service,
miss you. wish
we had
kept that promise.
sun sets,
crosses
sky, rises.
clock ticks.
i call your name.
i call your name.
