Grab hold of the nearest stranger. Don’t take the stranger’s hand, God knows where that’s been, but grasp their arm, firmly. Don’t let go until I tell you to.
Your best friend might meet this stranger at a rock show and they might sit in a parked car talking for hours and when they break up, 10 years later, the stranger, the one whose arm you’re holding right now,...

death is a door
night-falling:
Death is only an old door Set in a garden wall; On gentle hinges it gives, at dusk When the thrushes call.
Along the linted are green leaves, Beyond the light lies still; Very willing and weary feet Go over that sill.
There is nothing to trouble any heart; Nothing to hurt at all. Death is only a quiet door In an old wall.
—Nancy Byrd Turner

Unhappy Hour, by Richard Siken →
kaelco:
Going to a party where I knew you’d be, dudes bobbing for boyfriends, eyes shining like candy apples. I want to be a lamppost, or the history of plumbing. I am tired of being mysterious. You are drinking rum next to the laughing skullheads and I am unhappy because I am dead and I miss you. Once a year, day of the dead, you think you’d think of me more often. These people shoulda...

Daughter
One day I’ll give birth to a tiny baby girl and when she’s born she’ll scream and I’ll make sure she never stops. I will kiss her before I lay her down and will tell her a story so she knows how it is and how it must be for her to survive. I’ll tell her about the power of water, the seduction of paper, the promise of gasoline, and the hope of blood. I’ll teach her to shave her eyebrows and mark...

Steve Gehrke, "Prologue, Epilogue"
for my daughter
when you were vaulted, embargoed, tapping out messages on the walls, when you were translucent, opalescent, a hieroglyph coming to life in its cave, when your body was a glowing aquarium of cells, when you were reptilian, mammalian, quick-changing behind the curtain’s folds, when you were a kite unfolding in the wind, an expanding mesh, an origamist of the flesh, when you...

Dear Stranger,
To the high school freshman I saw waiting in line at one of the mall’s many milktea places,
(Disclaimer for a truckload of clichés. Forgive me, but repetition breeds remembrance and we all need reminding sometimes.)
Ditch those tacky knock-off Chuck Taylors and make your parents invest in a decent pair of originals or maybe Vans. Get them wet, get them dirty, have your friends write on them. The...
