for Andy
~~~~~~~~~~

Mortar Undissolved
Between the Bricks of a Heart


Pieces break off sometimes
and land
and make
sounds of words
late and drenched
and marking
whatever surface is handy

Pieces
the ones you had saved
for others
always fall in places
you save for yourself

And always form a shape
close enough
to the same
that anyone who knows you
would know you
