Fluorescent Memories
Foundation.
As the sudden rise in cancer grows, a piece relating to the emotional trauma it leaves.
Grief is such a painful journey we all must make, someday.
Title:
Fluorescent Memories
(A lone man looks at a shrine in his bedroom and quietly thinks aloud, as the family cat watches)
I still miss my love and her bright brown eyes.
Her incredible wit, her beautiful smile, and her outrageous ability to light up any given room with just one look.
Those painful, fluctuating memories follow me like the ghosts of the GoryΕ.
They return, biting like a shiver of tiger sharks.
Akin to my own Gospel according to Mark.
Everywhere I go, now that she's gone, when I'm suddenly reminded of her.
And how she was martyred on the grey cross of life, paying the sacrifices it takes to make love work.
Before cancer arrived, and double-parked.

Martyrs refer to Japanese spirits, often the ghosts of those who have sacrificed for a cause.
