Hoping to revive
Our dying friendship,
I check for a pulse
Then perform CPR:
Those whispers of hope,
Words of encouragement,
That might pull you
Away from the horror
you've chosen.
I cradle our history
Like a broken child-
Keening, grieving
Over the stranger
You've become.

sitting alone
in a crowded cafe
once long ago
I had a name
and wasn't invisible

After that kiss we watch the squirrels for a while. You ask if I were an animal which animal would I be.
As though you haven't noticed I'm a hedgehog. Don't want to tell you that.
So you whisper you're a bat, and suddenly I can see the bones of your wings.
