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

    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
    of your memory
