This is what our dying looks like. You believe in the sun. I believe I can't love you.

And I sing, again, those songs because I know The value of sweet music when we need to pass The time without wondering what rots beneath our feet.

This is what our dying looks like. You believe in the sun. I believe I can't love you. Always be closing, Said our favorite professor before He let the gun go off in his mouth. I turned 29 the way any man turns In his sleep, unaware of the earth Moving beneath him, its plates in Their places, a dated disagreement. Let's fight it out, baby. You have Only so long left—a man turning In his sleep—so I take a picture. I won't look at it, of course. It's His bad side, his Mr. Hyde, the hole In a husband's head, the O Of his wife's mouth. Every night, I take a pill. Miss one, and I'm gone. Miss two, and we're through. Hotels Bore me, unless I get a mountain view, A room in which my cell won't work, And there's nothing to do but see The sun go down into the ground That cradles us as any coffin can.

"Another Elegy," Jericho Brown, from The New Testament

You come with a little Black string tied Around your tongue, Knotted to remind Where you came from And why you left
