Remember me
When we shared cookies
In the blanket of the meadows.
Remember me
Whose likeness is made manifest
Burning carbon to ethereal glow.
Remember me
As the morning dew rests
And the smoke of cooking oil rises.
Remember me
When I served you bone marrow,
Soup so tender and invigorating.
Remember me, then
As you swallow it whole,
The love and the regrets
Remember me, then
As days grow older
Smelling of the same lunch.
Remember me, then
So the lonely days feel brighter,
Embers burning in the kitchen oven.
Remember me, then
In the marrow soup I’ve made,
Love instilled in your bones.

Remember me
When we shared cookies
In the blanket of the meadows.
Remember me
Whose likeness is made manifest
Burning carbon to ethereal glow.
Remember me
As the morning dew rests
And the smoke of cooking oil rises.
Remember me
When I served you bone marrow,
Soup so tender and invigorating.
Remember me, then
As you swallow it whole,
The love and the regrets
Remember me, then
As days grow older
Smelling of the same lunch.
Remember me, then
So the lonely days feel brighter,
Embers burning in the kitchen oven.
Remember me, then
In the marrow soup I’ve made,
Love instilled in your bones.
