c
we once sat at the parking lot of a hospital,
praying for hearts not to flat-line.
there, you used to tell me stories about angels.
how, maybe, icarus didn't burn.
how jesus didn't die.
how your sister just lost her breath
and became one with the sea.
how her ashes shone brighter than the sun.
how babies were born from serenades.
your kiss felt like the sweet edge of winter
but you wore rain like a cologne
and as the dawn snuffed out
the stars like candles,
i watched you drive away.
