sunday poetry
I just bought a bike last week
and despite all my excitement
I could only think of how you would've been proud
how you would have given me advice
without me asking
and remind me to call you when I go for a ride
most of all, I could only think of
how you would have shared in my joy
affirming my decision with your teeth-baring laugh
and shouting "yeah!" or "woohoo!" loud enough that it's both mildly embarrassing and endearing
I miss you, friend
see you soon
and we'll go biking in heaven.

Why did you write Sunday Poetry on a Friday?
Ah yes - it's because I use "sunday poetry" as a column title. I always associate writing poetry with rest, so I would call it sunday poetry...and it did actually start with me writing them on sundays, but now, it's sporadic. :) was my explanation clear as mud?
