Thursday Afternoon





It's funny this
    getting used to,

seems like it 
comes in 

wa  v  es. 
    
       As usual
I had an

idea

    of how it would

look

once it 
happened.  Formulas
I am always looking

for 
formulas.  And trying to fit everything
into
      a
box.

I [closed]
myself
up
into a

    cardboard house and
pulled the top

d
o
w
n

onto

            me.

I learned to 
        get over
it

the way you
get over
losing
everything
/
except
life.  And then one day you think it is                

all done.

You
open
the
box
and
come
o          u          t.

But on Thursday
there

we all were and you walked
    in

smiling
the five of us

as though one 

(was I the only one who noticed
?)

the secret was hidden in 

plain sight
and
then
you

    kissed my cheek when you

left.

This getting over it business

is funny.  Sometimes
it 
comes
back
in
        waves.
