godspeed
raze
you
were
still
around
the
morning
after
the
night
i
met
you
.
i
knew
i
had
to
let
you
go
.
you
would
have
died
if
you
stayed
with
me
.
i
had
no
pollen
or
insect
eggs
to
give
you
.
no
nanoscopic meals
to
serve.
you
played
dead
when
i
slid
you
into
a
soft
pocket
of
three
-ply
bathroom
tissue
.
i
tried
to
guide
you
toward
a
blade
of
grass
.
you
weren't
ready
to
leave
the
slapdash
nest
my
hands
had
made
.
i
waited
for
curiosity
to
cancel
out
your
fear
,
hoping
i
wasn't
setting
you
up
to
be
easy
prey
for
a
spider
or
a
shrew.
my
only
ambition
was
to
let
you
live
out
the
remaining
weeks
of
your
life
in
a
place
that
tasted
like
home
.

who
go
blather
from
