yesterday i tried to trick myself
into thinking that you were with me
i wore that shirt you loved to put on
—and i to take off—
your body
i sprayed your cologne
all over the house
until the place smelled young and musty
then i closed my eyes and breathed it all in
slow, like the way you'd love me
I swear I heard your voice call me.
Yesterday when I tricked myself
into thinking
you were with
me.
