Before Starting Again
I took two months off,
all words in remiss
I took two months off,
putting nothing at risk
I took two months off,
your voice—a deaf ear
I took two months off,
without holding you near
I took two months off,
death breathing inside
I took two months off,
from memory to hide
I took two months off,
you waited in pain
I took two months off
—before starting again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2017)
