[senryu]

cemetry stroll:
even the squirrels
have each other

+ + +

taken too soon
God's timing— certainly
not my own

+ + +

last casualty:
the smell of your hair
forgotten

Kevin,

Thanks for sharing your sadness with your readers. My condolences for your loss. Your "last casualty" is haunting and beautiful.

thanks for your kindness Kami. the loss i write of here occured nearly fourteen years ago, when still in high school. i haven't given it 'voice' until just now.

I bury my face
in the luxuriant coat
