The April rain falls. /

Too much or too little, /

Wind

Wind ripples the flag, /

slapping at the stars and stripes, /

“Skeleton of memories”

Skeleton of memories

Winter killed our tree. /

Don’t know if it was before, /

during, or after /

your death. Dead limbs hang barren: /

no buds, no leaves, no cherries. /

Skeleton of memories.

“Letting go”

Letting go

Setting sun lets go, /

leaving to our foolish night /

the dark undressing.

Even in fixed death /

there is the wounding beauty /

of remembrance.
