I watch the candles and sing again the tunes you taught me.
I still see you kindle lights, standing next to me in a white shirt,
I still feel my head on your chest in a movie theater on 13th Street,
feel yours on my shoulder, on a bench in Brighton Beach,
snow falling outside, salt in your hair.
I still sing the tunes that almost went away with you.
I won’t let the lights go out, I promised.
I didn’t know it was a promise I gave myself.
