I can remember
the warm summer days
windows rolled down
radio playing “I wanna be down”
just like how I was down
for any adventure with you
I remember the yo mama jokes and my comebacks
“yo daughter,” I would laugh and say
and how we could spend all day
watching The U
a channel I would only watch with you
and find it hard to watch without you
I remember all the
family days and the holidays and the
Christmases and Valentine’s days
where you spent hours and hours picking out
gifts and flowers
but your hours have stopped
so we now lovingly lay out peace lilies
just for you,
a man who doesn’t like flowers.
