“It's been nice having your van in my driveway. Maybe for just two weeks before you go, I can have the vision come untrue, long enough to forget when I thought I was going to have your van in my driveway every morning, and your sleepy noises the first thing that I heard in a day, as you whispered how you couldn't stay, but "wished you could," in independence's place. I told you, "I never revise a poem. Make sure, in your moment of self-defeat, that you are sure, because once I hit 'save', your decision will never delete.” — Heather Angelika Dooley
It's been nice
having your van in my driveway.
Maybe for just two weeks before you go,
I can have the vision come untrue,
long enough to forget
when I thought I was going to have your van
in my driveway every morning,
and your sleepy noises
the first thing that I heard in a day,
as you whispered how you couldn't stay,
but "wished you could,"
in independence's place.
I told you,
"I never revise a poem.
Make sure, in your moment of self-defeat,
that you are sure,
because once I hit 'save',
your decision will never
delete.
