The worst thing is when somebody dies
so I don’t think I want to see you again.
If I see you and forget you, you are still
among the living. This adorable dog
still lives with its owner, the one I saw
climbing the stairs and sniffing. I wanted
to say to the dog, “hey! what are you smelling?”
but I hurried to catch my train.
What a joy to never experience death! Your dog
greets you in the dark forever.
You were gone all day. Nothing dies,
since I’m always going away. I’m always seeing
what I love for a moment. A moment,
briefly, agreeing.
