Drove down your street
Just to see if I remember
.still.
.do.
As I round the bend
I see the house
On the corner still
.the door.
.the fence.
Where your dogs
Would bark
.out back.
I remember walking
Those dogs down
These streets
They’d stop
.here. and .there.
.piss. and .shit.

Then that day came
.as they do.
You. the airport. your mother. me.
LAX yellow goodbye
.take me with you.
.you can’t. .apology.
.goodbye.

Its clear now .to me.
That these days come
.as they do.
It’s unfair to blame
.my lack.
.of faith.
.in love.
.on you.
