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

 

 

 

bedtime

 

 

bedtime stories

the innocence of childhood

dreams

 

 

shifting

 

 

shifting clouds

all my suspicions

confirmed

 

 

all

 

all her years

forgotten

endless fog
