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)

End (new)

Met a man today who speaks like you I want to tell you can’t find your grave still I won’t go there is nothing he means that mourning does not end mourning cannot end

His voice is speaking now I’m behaving badly writing you while he’s exposed watching for my response to him I cannot listen must talk to you so I hear you listen in his silence and talk back in his voice about everything you said and didn’t get to mean
