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
A revision of the second stanza:
ReplyDeleteBut love
is like a breeze
or a gale
not a dusty keepsake
to be uncovered
