I have rebuilt myself, like a burned down cathedral
keeping my stained glass windows
as a memory of who I once was

Four Year Anniversary

3,2,1,0

3,2,1,0

I'm going backwards in time,
before everything turned
to metal in your mouth,
before your hair fell off
as if we were blowing
    dandelions
before you forgot your name
but remembered your phone's
password: 3,2,10

before you were the worst version of you,
and back to when I was the best version of me.
