As If

Okay, I gave it a title.

It’s been almost a week.

His belongings are dispersed,

His place cleared out,

 

Someone else lives there.

Occasional mail returned,

"No longer at this address."

 

It's as if ...

He was never here.

How quickly we forget the forgettable.
I guess the answer is to live splendidly and wildly and to make a mark of some description somewhere on someone....lest we be forgotten.
A simple write which brings the importance of living to us so well.
Thanks greatly for sharing.

The sense of loss is palpable. More words won't make that any clearer. What I like about this is the brevity and how much nearly strangled emotion you pack into it. But I always find myself drawn to that style of poetry. It's hard to write but has a spare beauty.
