7/7 Anniversary

PERFECT WORDS
7/7/08


I am trying
to capture
the perfect words

to describe the way it is
without you

to convey the enormity
of this day
this date
7/7

there is a need
I think
to create
a new dictionary

of loss
of loving

of words
to describe
the sweetness of you

the tilt of your mouth
the deliciousness of your laughter

your youth your hopes
your dreams

how to describe
the whirlpool of loss

swirling around us
sucking us up
spitting us out
battered and bruised

there is a need
I think

to create
a new dictionary
