Notes About The Poem

smoky

Listen to poem:

Remember me

Remember me

A feather on 
a barren path

Forget-me-not flowers
pressed in a book

A shell left stranded 
on a low-tide beach

A nest still warm 
after its fledgling flew

A cicada's husk
clinging to rough bark

A horseshoe print
filled with rain

The smoke of a candle
blown out

A dandelion clock
half past its wishes

The fading scent
of jasmine at dusk
 
A cushion 
holding the shape of 
weight departed

lamenting
lingering
lilting
longing
losing
dripping
'n
dropping
in
beads
