Shot in her bed by police<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her heart fizzled out from loving too much<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Many times before going to bed I\u2019ve seen her forgetting my name<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see someone else screening my calls <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Answering with one-word messages before I finally find out the inevitable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m in the shower and she\u2019s drowning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From her own blood, in a lake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My father is screaming, my sister is crying, and I\u2019m making funeral arrangements<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trying to remember what the six primary seasonings were, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
where the red beans and rice recipe was whether or not pattern goes with pattern<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to record our conversations so I have messages to scroll through but I keep thinking about when I get to the end of them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When no one agrees with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or sees my side of things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she finally picks up I remember<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have to stop practicing for my mother\u2019s death<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
