Don by Kristian Lewis

Response to Tariff

Don’t blame yourself for what happened

That night I died such a tragic death

Driving from Chauncey to Amesville

My Fiat Spider was hit head on by

A drunk driver. My boyfriend

Felt just as guilty as you.

I don’t feel like I wasted twenty years,

And it could have just as easily been you-

So you can go on and live your life,

Free, happy, and pleasant

While I stay up here in heaven,

Watching over you, it’s really not so bad.

It’s always spring here and I feel soft wind

Against my neck. I just wish you wouldn’t feel so

Dirty. What happened to me could have happened to anyone

Do not put a price on life. People only live a short while

You understand to appreciate what you have.
