i think this works better: title subject to change

[Untitled]

I met a man today who speaks like you-
I want to tell
you (can’t find your grave, won’t
go) there is nothing warm/ he means

mourning does not end (mourning
cannot end)

he’s speaking
now. I’m behaving badly
writing you while he’s exposed, waiting
for me. I wanna talk so I can pretend

it’s you listening, it’s you
talking back when his voice vibrates
inside my head, smiling about

everything/ you said (everything
you can’t see)

    i liked the “there is nothing he means that mourning does not end mourning cannot end” – in the new one the meaning seems lost – my simple 2 cents.

    also, like the right-alignment, reminiscent of reading arabic – almost tempted to read in reverse – change to subject title: better works this think i! :)
