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.
