tiny moments

why do tiny moments haunt us
more than speeches
sand paper fingertips, on my forehead in the dark
cranberries tainted with second-hand smoke

i'm choking on milk
it spills all over your mom's spaghetti
from laughter
we eat it any ways

and why do you haunt me
you were a tiny moment in this life
a friend
lingering in my mind like a lover, abandoned

your penmanship
explosive on my closet walls
and everyone we'd meet
would swear that we were sisters

a distant muse of distant art,
your tiny moments
close to my heart
