64-attribution

 when things happen     to me 
sometimes it feels as if you are
still here. when i am in the kitchen
and the song changes on the
ipod, i think it is you picking it
and it has more weight, less wait
than if i think it's the electrical impulses
and not your hand.
when the blanket shifts against my calves
i picture you shifting like always,
instead of attributing it to the fan
which it is. i forget for
a moment in time that this apart
ness is still happening, still current,
an open sore that the tiniest of occurrences
can wound me again, the smallest change
will remind me once again that
you are not here.
