​Nine Years Later 
 
Sometimes I forget that you died. 
Sometimes I think the universe lied. 
Sometimes I imagine if only I’d tried
 
to be more like the kind of brother
who hugged and mugged all over each other
and said I love you to one another,
 
that, in that last second, you'd change your mind, 
that, in some vision of me, you might find
that brother you could never leave behind.

Frank Mundo is the author of a poetry chapbook, Touched by an Anglo (Kattywompus Press) and The Brubury Tales, a novel in verse. ​
