Fifteen candles burn bright,
for the woman who taught me how to fight.
Fifteen memories plant a tree,
where we sat, and where I can now breathe.
These years have changed a man,
and I know only you can understand.

Dopamine releases.
No longer puzzled by our scattering pieces.
Another hypothermic kiss, adrift.
Sunk in the depths of her endless abyss.
I miss the sugar and how it lingered on her lips,
but it was just another hypothermic kiss.

Seven, eight and nine.
I always thought the burden was mine.
She told me her name,
yet cried all the same.
Ten, eleven and twelve.
I can still hear sleigh bells
near to where the snow fell.Sawyer S.

I Choose Life Always; handcarved by Dremel tool. -Sawyer S. I made this as I began my journey through grief. I can only hope the man I have become is nearly congurent to the values they once held themselves. Each name has and will remain a token of my eternal gratitude. These memories discipline the spirit of my person. For that, I love you all. I miss you dearly.

My dear Sapphire Sophia,
with reservoir irises that have abandoned Autumn.
You cannot forgive what has already been forgotten.
Thorns blossom from the asphalt.
My dear Sapphire,
it was never our fault.

Upon barren soil,
a single tulip blossoms;

What does this mean, to exist?
Well, his fangs are plastic.
You may be prey but,
pray and pay but they may still say
that his lungs accumulate so much tar
that when he speaks, he may actually bark.
When they whisper
he may only muster a bark.
After all, his fangs are sharp.
They will always confuse predator and prey.
What will they see,
what will you
today?

I perfected the practice of living in blackness This smile of plastic They ask why I'm distracted and obsessed with sadness but I hold my tongue. They can't fathom an emptiness of the gut or the only joy being a bite of tobacco in the lungs. Spring has Sprung, You Rest in Peace. whilst we puddle into pieces puzzled by all of the missing pieces. How could you leave us? Sawyer S.

If I ever have the chance of change,
I shall don this hood
and not puddle from rain.
