The Fool

In March, I built you a bench,
cedar, with two short legs and a long body.
It held books, your cigarettes, my pants.
In May, you burnt my bench,
you used lighter fluid and matches.
In June, I wrote honestly about you for the first time,
the words come easily now.
In January, I told you about God,
something that I now regret.
