Luke
i think it will stay with me forever
your same face with a voice whittled finely, finally hopeless
press your kisses to his empty cheeks
it will stay forever
the way you say
thank you thank you thank you

‘finely, finally’ is really cool word choice. And there’s something longing to this piece that I can’t fully define, but definitely feel fully. Love this poem a lot.
thank you. we had to put down my friend’s cat yesterday, and watching them mourn really overwhelmed me. i appreciate your comment; i’m humbled to know my ability to capture the moment touched someone else in some way
