FOR THE BOTH OF US

He has his best friend's
heart

beating deep
within him.

The pulse pushing the blood
from the here of him to

the there of him.

He remembers listening to it
when it was Pierre's heart.

Now, Pierre's heart's
...his.

After the accident it is what
keeps him alive.

He watches Pierre's mother
watching him & wish

she was still looking at
Pierre.

He feels guilty
to have survived.

He cries at night &
at odd moments in the day.

"I am living this life..."
he tells Pierre.

"I am living this life
...for the both of us."
