Your words all jumbled, built of runny dry- erase ink. Birthdays, passwords, piled to mountains, you don’t live in the redwoods anymore. You don’t live in your shoes or your metal-worn hands, you exist in paper: trucks of it, packets, leaves, dangling from corners like the wailing streamers of a New Year’s horn. You live there, prodding eternity with one hand, nudging me with another. Paper curls, ink fades; but your laugh still bursts between my teeth in shaven shards of air.
