Your ashes
unburied
dispersed in the sea
dissolved in salt water
mixed with sand
find a quicker way
to nature's recycling.
You are not gone
simply absent from life
and I cannot pull you back.
I can only wait
helpless as you are.

Your ashes
unburied

You are not gone
simply absent from life
and I cannot pull you back.
I can only wait
helpless as you are.
