In Loving Memory James F. Logue

Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
Hope in another form but no fewer letters and I’ve been hoping for these past eight years so I’ll just keep on
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I’ll keep searching for the meaning of life and I hope I find it as crumpled paper nearish a trash can
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I wish you had told me that on the good days kissing you would make me think that I knew what happiness was and on the bad days
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
