The rose bush in the garden survived the winter
Survived the dry spell
Survived your absence
I guess we all did
I’ve been gathering the things from house
27 years separated out
Into what I can live and cannot live without
More than that I miss having you around
I haven’t felt close to anything since I held your hands and lowered you down
Into the cold hard ground
Lately I’ve been collecting pieces of your memory
And spending too much time in the cemetery
Placing flowers on your grave
To the left of your parents
A new home was made
Elizabeth you still fill me with shame
If I said your name
27 times
Would that bring you back to life?
