DNA.


DNA.

I thought I caught his

face

as I moved from the mirror

saw his walk as I lurched

through empty

streets.


Even my hands now

hold his thick veins

calluses and

wrinkled skin.


My arm falls

behind my back

in that damn same

way I


don’t smell of whisky

my chin lacks stubble

there's an absence

of violence.



He’s dead of course

and yet I feel him

in my pain

in my blood

my poetry.
