it's a hard thing,
this lucid living:
sitting on a donated couch
in an already-sold house
with someone whose grave
I had just visited.
"but I've been to your
grave,"
the words unspun
from tangled teeth.
It was hard to know
just what to say;
so into the void left
by contradiction rang out
"... well, I guess...
how have you been?"
