i_saw_a_picture
n o m i was in sao_paulo
a few days later
googling about the abusive 'shaman'
when i found a picture
a news story
talking about someone i had just met
and how they had just died
it showed him dead
in the maloca
it showed him dead
and the image is still in my head
i was going to add him on fb that day
before i read the news

unhinged from the day i made you dinner
and told you i was moving to seattle
we went down to the southside
to my friend's open house at his makerspace
then i made you take me to the bar
with the photobooth
just so we could take pictures


you kept one strip of them
on your fridge
one of the last times mark was over
before i left
he looked at it and said
'you look so happy in these
it makes me so sad'
it was our puppy_love
new
silly
exciting


i keep mine
in my copy of pablo_neruda
that i still can't bear to read

i wonder where you put yours
