What You Leave Behind

Chelsea Comeau

Winner of the Canadian Prize in the Overleaf Chapbook Manuscript Competition, Spring 2015.

Chelsea Comeau speaks the grief of an uncle's death in poems fragile as fire, so true, we will carry them with us for a very long time.

At night,
the house fills 
with ghosts,
the song you must 
have sung in your dying. 
Its words so old
we were born with them.
