16/30: eulogy

Sometimes all the words
are written, or spoken.
There's an inviting silence -
worthy and restful.
But sometimes, as it is
with you,
all the words are dead.
Decomposing and overgrown
with weeds,
you killed everything.
Everything.
But the
words went first.
Nothing I can scrape
together will ever
resemble what used to be
between us.
