My Darling Dead Ones
Do you remember?
I shake my head.
The time we ...
Nothing.
Look at the photo.
See.
I nod. I do not
see the same things
she does.
I see
snapshots
in my mind.
We had no photos
at our wedding.
Do you remember?
I nod.
My darling dead one.
Remember when?
I smile.
You do?
I do not remember
what she does.
She nods.
I close my eyes.

Author's Note
My Darling Dead Ones is the title of a novel by Erika de Vasconcelos. That title has taken on another meaning recently. I write little poetry, so all comments welcome. Maybe it´s looking for a shape?
