to pour
anymore
a  sticky
residue
coats
unyielding
jug walls  
it's spent body
tossed  on top
of the  kitchen trash
a sweet token
memory
of your last trip
up north
mapley
  contents spilled
over so many 
waffle
nooks and crannies
like so many
tears
on your last days
here
Our last family waffle night  this past  Monday  used up the last of the syrup Gary ( my fiancé's  late father rip July 2015)had brought back from Vermont  this past April  with my step kids  and  his wife .We finished it, and as it lay there  on top of  the open kitchen trash  I realized sadly  that  how short  of a time  it  has actually been since  they brought that back for us .Wasn't he just here with us all?
