Dissolved in mist and absence
I awake
my heart
aches
literally
squeezing
in my chest
pressure builds
brain pounds
tears flow
but why
i don't know
till
a flash
on the phone
shows the date
today
he'd be
78
instead
he's just
dead
a photo
in an album
in a frame
on the shelf
a story
remembered
a memory
of a hug
a smile
a moment
shared
now
gone
growing
ever more dim
for he's
Dissolved in mist and absence
an absence, light as the skin of a child
There, far away,
Where oblivion dwells.
