  • THE SUICIDE CRISIS: WHAT CAN WE DO?

The Society for the Prevention of Something

The Society for the Prevention of Something

Can’t remember what.
Some kind of violation of people (or animals)
or maybe the loss of an old building (or park).

I just remember that something was
happening that needed preventing,
really, because you were fuming,

distracted  and, I knew,  guilty
when we enjoyed desserts
or blew off a Saturday afternoon.

But I do remember how much
you wanted to prevent the thing
and how much I craved,

sitting next to you, your hand around
the back of my neck, resting there,
and you telling me,  in a whisper,

we would endure it all together.
