Look Harder by Kaitlyn Perrin

Look Harder

He lives in you
In the way you stir the tea
To clink the spoon against the cup
In the way you wipe the water 
Down your limbs before you pick the towel up

These rituals are your way to bring him a’ knockin’
And they are his memory’s way of sitting up in his coffin ​
