ASHES
Now the person you loved
the most in your whole life
Now the body
that held you
all night in bed
Now the arms
and the hands
Now the face that slept
against yours
the breath that moved
in and out of your mouth
Now the bright eyes
the forehead
the entire body
is lighter
than the flurries
that appear
out of nowhere
the most in your whole life
Now the body
that held you
all night in bed
Now the arms
and the hands
Now the face that slept
against yours
the breath that moved
in and out of your mouth
Now the bright eyes
the forehead
the entire body
is lighter
than the flurries
that appear
out of nowhere
