peripheral revision
i revisit your funeral
in a dream filled with rooms
paint my face crackle-grey
and watch the pink of my tourmaline ring
wash away
every so often
i think i see you
still
every so often
you’re choosing a can of peas
or bringing the cat
you never had in for fleas
and as long as i don’t look
directly at you
i’m certain you’re
saying
i’m game
