+a new friend is stuck in the revolving door to  
+my heart—my eyes, enveloped by faint lines and creases  
+like my mother who may never learn  
+to see my drink is half full, not empty.  
+my phone rings: happy birthday sung by my grandmother,  
+bouquet of flowers on the dining table,  
+four-day-old leftovers in the fridge.  
+things I cannot yet go through, sell or put away/keep  
+a loving partner who deserves to be free.  
+move to a different city, which final movement?  
+of a piece, a plant, a pet, a person, a party,  
+a meeting with a friend, one night stands.  
+one full day of daylight only leads to dusk;  
+on a Sunday eve, stop edging me, grief.
