Are you still alone
in bed? Is it morning yet where you are? The smoke turns
to rain as usual. Listen, my love. This year is just a visitor & next year’s
ghost. Take care of it because yes—yes, you do deserve flowers for once
in your life. You will be the only one left. So hold my hand & call me
tomorrow. We are all here. It’s okay—it’s okay to be this
afraid. I am you. Can you feel that? Yes, that is the whole world outside
moving without us. But listen to me. Listen. Here’s the light
an arm’s length away. The ceiling reforming
above you, like another heaven after its own self-
destruction. Here’s my body & you stretching lifelong
toward every hole in the house
left as warm as a father running from
horizon to horizon. Don’t be afraid. Touch me here
where, some days, it hurts. Get up, get dressed,
open the door.
- Michael Wasson, Your Shadow Invents You Every Time Light Fails to Pass Through You
