your secret to staying tan in the sun barren winter months
(bronzer) I won't tell
hugging Tina against her will
though she wore lip gloss, earrings and heels for you
your pacific blue sweater
your ironman timex I gave you
the glasses I never saw you wear until I held your funeral program in my hand
holding a tissue in the other
looking at your handsome face missing your darling handsome face
