_{he was like summer
no one ever noticed him
while he was two steps
behind them
but once he was gone
everyone suddenly
missed his presence.

the oval was soaked
and the clouds wouldn't
stop crying for weeks
the umpires told all
the jocks to go away
and get a heart
because he was gone
and he wasn't coming back

i stumbled over to his
glowing white head stone
and left him flowers
that i think were blue
but i couldn't quite
squint enough to see
everything is varying shades
of shadows now

so the sun wouldn't
rise again for
three months
and they called these
the black days
because it was thick
and all consuming
there was no light
because he was summer
and he was gone}
