I am writing to let you know that
your name died on the shred of
my tongue yesterday evening,
suddenly, with the first breeze of
an umber October. and the silk
moths spun out the threads of
their wings, the leaves turned, the
day your face was buried somewhere
deep under the mulch of a maple
cemetery, I saw a honey moon drip
pale in the azure sky, the sun red
read my poems, burned every mention
of your hands or your eyes or your
mouth. I spent a funerary moment,
curled in a furnace of pumpkin bonfires
and hedgehog secrets, they whispered
your name when the clock chimes
carried your coffin into the distance of
a forgotten summer, I can’t recall where
I met you, your hands, your eyes, your
mouth, I have learned to write without
you, and found new life in your absence.

I have let go of a few friends over this past year, and now I'm finally okay with it.
Also October is my second favourite month (December is my fave because it has my birthday :D) and I'm already way too excited for Halloween :la:

Letting go is hard... I can relate. Since last May I've been trying to let go but it's proven to be difficult. 

Took me a while to read this! (Cleaning out my inbox). 

Always a pleasure reading your work.
