Working: Volume 2, Number 1 - Issue 5 Spring 2023

dinner is just another way to remember you

Issue 5
These days, the company I keep
are bluebell hauntings swaying in the breeze.
                                                                  the house is as empty as you left it
It is my own fault
that our hemlock glistens with periwinkle dawn.                             I mean to say,
                                                                                        the bed on your side is cold
The hour of the remembered returns                               and tears are not enough
and I count the revolutions of our shared light.
                                                                                        two creams and one sugar
It dims gently in the evening,                                          as easy as morning passing
and returns, more gently than the last.
