Eulogy [poema]

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, my brother

When we laid you to rest

it was like watching a library burn down

Pouring out of our homes to bear witness

It was beautiful at first

Until we realized that all our stories

Were going
up
in
smoke

I tried to breathe it in

Holding it deep in my chest

Like a massive bong rip
But only ended up coughing
up
my
heart

I don’t think anyone noticed
