My sun has gone
I chased him across parks
with football games.
I ran with him
in my dreams
screamed out his name
patience wasn’t my game
the cards I played never won.
My sun is gone
I chased him in the silence
daydreamed skies where we played
like birds
words now tear me down
I caught a name in a letter she wrote
she named the sun
I have pictures
in my heart and my mind.
