District Taco
By Amy Souza
Inspiration piece
We got tacos at 7 and by 9 asked, Is this it?
The dog slept on the floor, back pressed against her bed
When she dies, will you still be here?
We planned an imaginary barbecue
You talked surgery on your jaw
I saved extra soda in the refrigerator
But dumped the ice like you asked
Wondered whether we’d hear the owl again
I thought that was something we shared
But you reminded me you’d never heard it
I miss who we used to be
Can’t see who we might become
Forgot about that pinecone in my pocket
