understand that i don’t want to talk much today.
My favourite dog died last night. You know how it feels like to lose a dog? You realize it could be worse than losing an actual person? You do? Good. Then I don’t have to tell you about it. And you’d understand why I just feel like being very, very quiet today.
Je suis dans le besoin de conforts mais ne me dis pas des mensonges.
i may be in need of comforts but do not tell me lies.
…and what are boyfriends for?
the blue roses-
never red-
are still clamped
between the pages and the ink
that used to adore
you.
and the little pink buds
with the waify strips of words
wrapped around the stems
still tell of that story
we once called
ours.
happy birthday, frances-eliza.
