Did you know that when a star implodes,
for a few days, it can be brighter than an entire galaxy?
I still have light in my eyes from the way that you left me;
I still wait for my core to collapse like a black hole
and suck everything into it
when I meet someone else with your name.

Scents of My
Childhood
Freshly cut grass. Crayon wax. Old book
pages. A new classroom on the first day of school. Cherry
flavored medicine. Fluoride. Bleach and Windex and incense when
my mom tidied the house. Cinnamon when my dad made french toast
in the mornings, and roasted pumpkin seeds at Halloween. Popcorn.
Birthday cake icing. The wet earth after a rain. Gasoline when my
parents stopped to fill up. Burning logs of a bonfire every New
Year's Eve. Baby formula and diaper rash cream after my
sister was born. Acrylic paints when she got older and channeled
her inner artist. Shampoo and hydrogen peroxide. Salty ocean air.
Cigarette smoke because my dad never could quit. His aftershave
and cologne and leather boots and jacket. My grandma's
perfume. Coffee beans because she and my grandpa always had a mug
with their breakfast. Car wax and sawdust in a garage. Chlorine
in a swimming pool. Flower gardens. Home, home,
home.
too many times, I've been caught up when I know better,
so I push it back down 'cause I never want to let out that I've
been dying since I saw you were gone
