Revision 2
When the power turns back on,
electricity courses through these walls; veins
reanimate our hearts from the devastating
days. Nights we stared at the memories,
blank and irritated from all the food spoiled;
the silence.
Yesterday was our anniversary with no where
to refresh the pages of pictures and sequences
of events that shut down the world.
'Go ahead,'
I said,
the joke being you never would.
You did;
now the fridge is cold and empty.
I miss the silence

'go ahead'

Now the fridge is cold and empty
and I wish it could just be silent.
