Passive Smoking

Can I blame Apple?  If we could add storage
to the phone, I wouldn’t be clearing out my voice notes.

This one takes me by surprise. I remember
the night, but had completely forgotten keeping
this sound bite.

We’re laughing and happy, and you tell me a joke
about a dyslexic Angel with a triangular halo.
Now I sit here crying.

I thought the fever had broken,
but I know how griefs work,
how sometimes they can be forgotten
until the moment they choose —

ambush

I am injured, but it is not a fatal wound,
and healing begins with delete.
