Everyone I have lost
in the closing of a door
the click of the lock
is not forgotten, they
do not die but remain

in sin and forgiveness
huddled under old blankets
dreaming their way into
my hands, my heart
closing tight like fists.

The boy and girl going hand in hand through a meadow; the mother washing her baby; the sweet simple things in life. We have almost lost track of them.
