There are little deaths
in every bit of remembering,
and all of the forgetting.
The truth is I don’t know
if I should bleed for you,
or for me.

This almost slipped through the cracks. Glad I just noticed this. I love your short works. It is really hard to pull off and you do as good of a job as anyone I know. This is a wonderful work by one of my favorite poets!
