Notebook Valentine

A strange death and
uncertain resurrection
as if he had known
it was coming
which he couldn’t have
he had no warning
but he’d lit three candles
on the coffee table
and set a bottle of water
on the table beside him
a few favorite books
strewn on the couch
where he was found sitting
slumped a little forward
as if listening intently
to music or a distant voice
or reaching for his notebook
to write something down
