your favorite television show
was californication and after
convincing me to start the series
as you rewatched it for the seventh
time, after episode one i could see
why
you connected with the show
as if it were retelling the last
fifteen years of your life
you had been the notorious
hank moony
desperately seeking his own
karen
had been
is what you had told me
over and over and over
for the one hundredth time
you had warmed many
women's beds and experimented
every drug known to man
you were two months sober
of cocaine and they were the
proudest moments of your life
and i hadn't been more
proud of you either –
your sobriety and journey
anew is what lead us
to each other
