ON THE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHT DAY OF THE YEAR

There should be more
here, in this apartment, today
on your birthday; two more,
at least, & us all happier,
with less empty places
around the table & our lives,
& those lives with less loss
in all its myriad forms.
There should, & there
isn't, & that, that
is my fault, this life less
rich than you deserve.
I can only apologize
through time to a later day.
