Remember Me

REMEMBER ME NOVEMBER IN AMSTERDAM This must be where fallen leaves come to settle. The two of us, not quite in our dotage yet, feel at home, anchored in such an autumn. Submerge my heart in one of these dykes when I'm gone. Ashes, you see, need the clutches of still brown waters to escape being scattered to the winds.

"Anchored in such an autumn" is a lovely turn of phrase. It anchors the whole poem. Well done, sir.

I love how you opened this poem. "This must be where fallen leaves come to settle." It implies autumn, and it implies a domestic sense of being with someone. I enjoyed this poem because, although, it's abstract in that it doesn't say much, it says enough for you to feel... feel the temperance and impermanence of time and love.
