Jenna, Tiberius, Heaven
You forget the name
of a textbook. But not
the girl who folded her notes
into wings.
Not the boy who stood
every morning outside
your door, waiting to enter
without saying why.
You remember them
as if they still breathe
beside you.
The way their names
settle like dust
on your desk.
