I’ve only ever sat on roofs with boys I
never kissed,
never dated,
never said the things we might’ve felt in the air
up there,
just nice kids sitting on roofs,
looking at night skies,
growing up together.
I think we talked about music,
maybe you had a drink,
when I look right at the memory,
it’s less there than when I feel it;
it’s not really here anymore.
Like you.
I wonder if your cancer cells were already there
under the night sky with us.
How strange to
cease to exist,
It’s always unfinished when it ends,
