The Part of You That is Missing (or Observations on a Dead Self)

            The part of you that is missing
Is the part of you that would make jokes
Even while desperately dismal
See the absurdity in everything
and Everyone
The part of you that is missing
Howled at a full moon
It didn’t matter if we were in public
Or even if you’ve never been a wolf.
The part of you that would look for adventures
Would sing your own song 
When the battery of the music player ran out
Dance in the forest and pretend the trees were 
Rumbaing along with you
Would make up stories
About the secret lives of mushrooms
And funny voices for our each of our house plants
Come up with fake epithets for people 
Who have never lived like you.
