Death Traces
That he survived chemo
Impresses me more than his
Impresses me more than his
Surviving what necessitated it.
Traces of iodine on butcher paper
Outline what he left behind for
Us to see - an encyclopedia of
Shadows and sickness -
Nuclear remnants from
Tiny bombs dropped over
His inner, inner Dresdens.
A rain check on an invitation to
Big Sky Country, for
There’s still so much more
Paint to throw in the warehouse.
