MY BEST
BEAU—with apologies to Jane Belo
1560 Weeks
I560
Tuesdays since
I lost my
best beau.
After daily
suspense she
Called
Seattle that Tuesday
Afternoon to
say,
“He loved
you very
Much”:
always brief; even then
When words
should matter.
Funeral
night, though,
She let out
brief cries, thinking
About
forty-five
Years of her
life: some happy;
More
sad. My thoughts ran
To a void I
would not fill
Til she
herself passed
Fourteen
years later.
1560 Weeks—Tuesdays
Without my
best beau.
