Sister Dogs from Comfort Foods by Bigger Better Sun

My palm still can feel the heat
From where the couch sinks into your seat
It’s subtle but in the distance I hear birds are singing loud
Inside an AC whose motor has long burned out

And in a sugar high, sweat laden sleep
Swear I feel your breathing, it’s as if you’re sleeping at my side
Then I open up my eyes

It’s just a little bit of love
A little sweet to wash the sour from my mouth
It was late but I saw you
Smile on your face, your teeth cut through
Could have been a paranormal event
Or maybe just a message sent from a friend

A coffee table all covered up in stains
Relics left from ice cream cause no one licked the lid
Stuck to your skin, the passing of the time
Fossilizing memories, entrench within the grime

But when the sun aligns itself with the skylight
The glass can still refract, forms a prism
That’ll shine right into the space you used to lie

It’s just a little bit of love
A little sweet to wash the sour from my mouth
It was late but I saw you
Smile on your face, your teeth cut through
Could have been a paranormal event
Or maybe just a message sent from a friend

Through a voice over…
the radio bleeds out
Says my grief is all from love
Reads a Michael Longley poem

I am left completely over whelmed
You’re lost but you are still loved
