Godspeed, Carry On

Not poetically my best work, but it's very personal.

Shimmering meat.

It would juice my mouth. 

You would present it

And I would be content. 

Are you?

Puff of powder perfume

A part of goodbye.

Never too much, enough 

To smell like you.

Do you smell the same?

Then, like a firecracker

You had protected me

From brutal blows. 

They no longer exist.

Please, keep this spark. 

Help me wash my hair.

Tell me to brush my teeth

Again, be ready for

Whenever I arrive.

Will you see me arrive there?

I planned to visit.

Tracking all bus routes

To your bed. Notions of

Buying flowers, talking. 

Where was I?

You were supposed to 

Get better. Time was no 

Issue to a young person. 

All too short. 

Are you better now?

Flowered letters spell 

The most important word.

‘Granny’

Laden with regal blue. 

You liked simple, didn’t you?

A designer box, my best one

Now keeps your things.

After exploring your treasures

I keep them safe. 

Do you like that?

Your withered hand 

I never saw, but this was

How you wanted it. 

I will remember you now.

So, godspeed, and carry on as you were.
