HOLDING ONTO EVERYTHING I'VE LOST

September 18, 2008

my iPod Shuffle
has the same one hundred songs on it
that I imported over six months ago

they were the suffocated songs
in my aqua green clip on device
when air was still in my father's lungs

holding onto them feels like
a moment in time caught in a jar
as if I could capture one of his last exhales

listening to it today
allows me to live
in the past and the present
