Lastly

Tired of remembering
Waiting for the sun
To come in differently
Tuning out

Tell me more about the
Way of saltwater and it’s
Stinging substances
Against the lips
Dry mouth

How fortunate you are
To have the friend
Of best live twice in your life
Although they’re gone
Optimism shines
From the top dresser drawer

Piano keys are still wet
With yesterdays tears
Still the music is good
Even to listen for
Many years after
What an experience to revisit

If I could push lavender
Colored petals into my eyes
Only to see tranquil calm
Evoke gentle light from inside
Non sequitur moment
Invite a monkey to do it for me

Grasping at the edge of the earth
The rest is left to nothing
Cracked edges
Sacred treasure of life
Valiant dance to
Dignified death

Forgotten hands that
Once held the rest of you up
Resurface to replace the parts
That are no longer supported
Maybe we are relevant
