i had a kitten, harvey
a grey stray my dad abhorred
i'm sure he died in the rain
and you cried at the graveyard
tore off a piece of yourself
and threw it into the street
i wanted you to tell me something
as real as i could know
you did and i could give you nothing
across the sea or in a willow garden
rolling 'round in soft warm white
i couldn't give you an apology
i wish i would've kissed
your lips and not the hands
that fed me so i could sleep
on a belly full of vicodin
with over-the-counter sticky medicines
i made you temporary
i couldn't give you nothin'
