AS MY WORLD TURNS
Popcorn
You had an inordinate love
of popcorn.
We would eat it while you watched
a football game on TV,
and I would sit beside you
not caring for a moment about the game
but wanting only to be near you
while we ate popcorn.
Â
After we’d shared a bowl
you declared
you could have eaten the whole thing
by yourself.
It’s one of my intense regrets
that we didn’t simply make you
your own bowl of popcorn.
Â
In the three years after your death
I couldn’t eat a single kernel of popcorn,
but now it has been ten years
and today I made a bowl of popcorn
and in your honor,
I ate the whole thing.
