This Poem Is Better

Archeology of Grief

I am sifting time
searching for relics of you
in fragrances
and moments remembered
in tokens I can hold in my hand

But love
is like a breeze
or a gale
No tight grasp
can hold it

I find you now
in gifts I give
in kissing the neck
of a boy you never met
in his hand slipped in mine

  1. A revision of the second stanza:

    But love
    is like a breeze
    or a gale
    not a dusty keepsake
    to be uncovered
