Poems
May 2016
Just Outside the Landfill
I held you
As you cried
About losing me
That night
You loved campfires
Because your grandfather taught you
How to build them
And while I never learned
How to burn
I picked up a stack of paper
To throw into the flames
And I thought
That in a few moments
What I'm holding in my hands
Would be just ash and dust
And I felt the very same way
That night
#fire
#loss
