i have this jacket of yours
weathered and worn
from those memories we shared
from your life before mine
a reminder of
the winds of fall
leaves fluttering down
in a cascade of withering color
a reminder of
the snow days
where the light flakes melted on your tongue
on this jacket
a reminder of the spring
with hail punctuated with sun
nature tormenting us
with her turbulent emotions
a reminder of
the blazing heat that tore
through the atmosphere
burning everyone, including the jacket off your back
and lastly,
the jacket holds you
what remains of you
in its stretched seams,
broken zippers,
and empty pockets
in this jacket holds-
my love for you
