No Breath of Joy (Freeverse)
one candle lit
set apart
for my tears will not apologize
I am dead but alive
no amount of time can pass
from this anniversary to the next
the heartless affects of years bring no ease
no air, no breath of joy
AIDS stole my heart that day
a year ago
I can’t hold you anymore
my adorable son
arms like my heart
empty
