Sense of Memory
Rose petal fallen to groundDead as you are
Not even the flowers given
In your memory last
Leaf from stem to coffee cup
Sip to lips
Taste of residue hits palate
Death tastes fuzzy
Hum hum buzzing refrigerator
Hymnals sung
Echos summoned from memory
Voice distracting mind from studies
Garbage rot in doorway
Stale fish smell
Summers in your garden
Dumpster dives and burning bushes
Senses shape thought of you
Missing you completely
Labels: death, poetry, remembrance
