I.
My head weighs ten pounds. Somehow
your body weighs less.
II.
It was too easy to rattle your bones.
I would play simple melodies on your ribcage
but you could touch so much more
with nimble fingers licking piano keys
catching the cadence of forgotten rhythms
in your sleep. They said you never made a
sound.
III.
I never understood harmonics.
They slip away softly in the night
like stolen teeth and memories of you.
IV.
In my dreams
you're always screaming.
Does that sickle smile mean you're happy now?
V.
I am nothing if
I am not. I am
no such thing.
VI.
I laughed at your funeral.

Of Oscillations, aftershocks, the suggestor says, "*pardonM3 explores loss, guilt and memory without being clichéd in this poem rich in strong imagery and unusual phrases. The emotion in this made me shiver." (Suggested by *chugglepuff and Featured by `lovetodeviate)

dark pictures, thrones, the stones that pilgrims kiss,
poems that take a thousand years to die;
but ape the immortality of this
red label on a little butterfly.
