When real death enters the house

all poetry is dumb.

When I walk in

to the room where you were

the emptiness instead

all fails.

Crusted with tears, catatonic and raw,

I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail.

and collapsed there on the front steps I wailed.

A backpack for when she goes to school a couple years from now.

                  G                                         F                               G
though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down, being swallowed into a
C                      G                        Am      Am/G
silence that is bottomless and real.
          G
It’s dumb
                                  F
and I don’t want to learn anything from this.
      Am
I love you.
