What the body remembers

When it was nearly the end
How many times did I meet you
Sickened at the side of your bed
Which of my messages reached you
Everything fogs, they said
Becomes a big soup you can swim through
Tried to usher you back from the edge
Before your memory slipped through

No need to speak of the things
Cast aside to be near you
All of the guesswork assembled
Into something that nears true
Offer a song, he said
It might penetrate, make her come to
Lodged in my throat with the pleas
Not to leave, I still need you

Never a good time to give up the ground
I learned to walk on
I'll never be ready for another terrain
I'm good as gone

Shadowed amalgam of grief
How do I rid myself of you
Ghosts of my losses combine
To form a thing I can't see through
How do you sit with it
All the language memory untethers
All this grief you carry in your bones
What the body remembers
