Kristina England - One Poem

Grief Revisited

Funny how the car smelled of exhaust,
how your eyes fluttered into a dream.

Funny how those fumes filled up
the chambers of your heart,

and how your last breath stuck
to the glass when I found you.

Funny how I’ve been stumbling
around in a smoke-induced haze,

and how it’s been years (years)
of me breathing without you.
