The Confessions of Cemetery Celine, Circa 2012


My dreams died along with you,
they did, I tell you,

It was as simple as that,

and when we buried you on a rainy Tuesday,
I forgot the order of all the days of the week,

since I was no longer counting up,
I figured why count at all,

It was as simple as that,
it was

and sometimes when I go to the cemetery with my lawn chair,
I think of how much better going coast to coast on butter toast was,
with you anyway

and when it rains,
I think of you wet in the ground,
and how I wish I could dig you out so we could dream together,
as we had done so many days before,

but we cannot,

you are there,
and I am here,
I suppose

It was as simple as all that,

that it was
