Remember
I feel like a crazy person
As I’m sobbing in the shower because
You said “Remember, I love you”
Before leaving your phone at home,
Because I asked you to.
Because it was the right thing to do- so you could be present with her without me.
Yet when I towel away the water and tears, and the dog is still asleep on the floor,
I remember I’m not.

So good: the way the last night snakes back around to the first, the mundane detail of dog asleep amidst an existential crisis, the way you intrigue the reader and leave room for each reader’s interpretation
love the way “remember” reverberates in the poem
