His birthday.
Last year.
He waited under the block
wondering
waiting.
A life spent waiting
in anticipation
of simple indulgance
the wait has come to an end
has the want?
i hope so
all the love left unexpressed
all the words left unsaid
i hope it surrounds him now
like the jellyfish
damn.
do i want to remember
or to forget
memories.
it's all that's left
and yet why do i wish
we could just live without them.
