the unfamiliar half

I search for familiar faces

among strange names

try to find just one

that looks like the parts of me

I can't place

I wonder where they buried you

does someone still bring flowers

or are you forgotten

has your gravestone

already been replaced

without me visiting once

I told myself I didn't care

but I often think about

how swiftly my mother said

I wouldn't have known you

either way

did you know I was coming

would it have mattered

would I have been the change

that made the difference
