One More Anniversary

The dust blends with 
the humid specks.
Smoke twirls. Hangs for a 
while, and then departs.

Something was burning far away.
Inside me also. To ashes.
I release the crematory.
It was over.

I will scatter the years, 
spent with you. On a sand bar.
Where we stood when tide was 
low. Now it is overwhelmed,

the bank. The seagulls don’t 
leave ther engraved, gender signs.

Beautifully done without one word about the loss suffered.
