Upon the sweetest flower of all the field."

all landmarks erased

fast upon my heels, all gone,

as if never there.

They live in my memory

along with those I loved there

They all felt awkward

They all felt awkward and

unhappy suddenly,

because it was a sort of good-bye

they were saying,

and they didn’t want to think about it.

So they stood around,

and waited

for somebody else to speak.

~ A.A.Milne

Here

is a eulogy

for all the parts in us that did not

make it out alive.

Here

is the shrine we made from our traumas.
