When none is around me
I find only myself closer.
Silence, silence and then
our memories together appear
like a good-looking ghost
which I hear about in folklore.
It reminds me of the moments
that I can’t forget.
No worries, good memories
The ghost tells me not to weep
because time will not bring relief
after you are deceased.
It’s a big lie!

I wrote this poem to mourn the death of my grandmother who we painfully lost her on May 7th, 2020
