I Carried You
/I grieved when my brother killed himself, and treasured my memories of him. Now I find that those memories have faded, and I am grieving again to lose him a second time, to lose him for good.
————
so carefully, trapped in a box, beribboned.
Your hair blond halo in the wind,
your eyes blue marbles caging light,
your dimpled laugh, your easy gait,
the all of you I didn’t want to lose.
But now I find I’m tricked by time,
who left the box wide open,
and what was you has disappeared.
I didn’t think I’d cry again
to find you gone a second time,
to find you gone for good.
