He spoke of his friend
Laughing at the comedy
Love and joy graveside

I see myself now
My intentions unfulfilled
I can only laugh

Through the screen I smile
His system in need of breath
I should have said breathe

Watching with my child
Funny silly videos
So disconcerting

The sounds from the phone
Cacophony of sweetness
Tingling my ears

I think about a bath
flowing hot soothing mmm,aahh
coaxing out my ache
