Things She Left Behind

Things She Left Behind

A Chapter by The Poetry of Michal (Mitak) Mahgerefteh
"

About the poem: after the funeral, I watched Father standing by their bedroom door. He was looking at her clothes, makeup table, among others things she left behind.

"

 

Things She Left Behind

 

spring showers roughen the Mediterranean

punctuating days   surging sound of rain

pouring through the bedroom window  

onto burgundy caftan   folded flat on the bed

strawberry blond hair twisted into seams

pillows   sheets   blankets   towels   slippers

everything ripples a memory on Father’s face  

          as he notices things she left behind
