Dear ones, might a sign appear, if only a shard?
Even if sheered from nothing, a shard.
50 days slipped safely past
you who have disappeared—bequeath a shard.
Wherever you flew, wherever you fell
Dear lost ones, just a shard.
Your spectral lines, your memories, even your
fear clinging somewhere. However sharp, a shard.
Do you remember us?
We wait here. Even for a shard.
Wow, Rose .. this is one of my favorites too. I love your choice of “shard”.
Two hundred and thirty-nine cuts
grow deeper every day
as we find planetary
bodies out in space
but not one trace
of you.
Debbie. “Two hundred and thirty-nine cuts / grow deeper every day.” Thank you.
