inventory


You believed in me
past my ability.

I didn’t have it.

I know that now.


Once I begged for yes.
You said yes.
I rose.

Once I begged for no.
You said no.
I stayed down.


We made three.
They carry us both.

You were ground.
I was light.


This morning a dream:
You at a door.
I couldn’t speak.
You couldn’t hear.


Seven years.

No tears.
No words.
Only fingers.

I look back.
It was good.

That’s the sadness—
not today,
but knowing
what good was.

I visit.

I love you.
