Let me tell you
about the happiest day,
or at least the sunniest day,
or maybe it was a day when sky
cracked open spilling rain or hail
or fire. It was a day.
And let me tell you about my companion.
The cat. That boy I had a crush on.
My best friend. A girl I met, and in one
transitory moment the world held
until it didn’t. It left me void,
waiting, dispassionate,
because things end and I don’t believe
they should.
