midday

 

mid day heat

the air heavy

with words

 

 

 

 

fly

fly in the web

I back away

from him

 

 

 

so

 

so many wishes

deep in the well

silver shimmers

 

 

 

 

lingering

 

lingering chill

I wrap your scent

around my neck

 

 

 

 

silence

silence now

yet still

the clock ticks

 

 

patchwork

 

patchwork quilt

all my memories

of grandma

 

 

 

comfort

 

 comfort blanket

the fading scent

of childhood
