i wish i had not been broken
so i would have been able to know you both better
i wish i had not been so sick
as to see your home & city only that one time
~
thank you for the cameras & the peppers
thank you for the xanax & the breaded chicken
thank you for your daughter
i am sorry if i kept her away
~
i hope one day in the next world
we will bait our hooks with new wishes
& fish together by a still blue lake
i hope one day in the next world
we can camp together in the forests there
& sleep painlessly under strange new stars
i hope one day in the next world
we can watch all our animals play together
in a sunshine clearing on soft green moss
~
i hope one day i will meet you again
in the place it is youve gone
the place it is where we all go
when we go
why not why not why not
