In memoriam
What are you feeling?
Discovery, surprise, amusement, hope
Confusion, regret, apathy, despair?
What are you thinking of?
First steps, first kiss, first dance
Last love, last Christmas, last meal?
Faces, names, addresses: all gone.
I try to refresh her memory with
Photos, videos, books.
That time you hit me in public,
That time you saw my first play.
Nothing, just an empty past
A meaningless present and
A dark future politely smiling,
Tenderly holding my hands.
What is politeness? What
Does tenderness feel like?
Rest now Grandma, sleep
For I, will remember for you.
