New life

They took away our bench and 

we replaced it by borrowing 

another just around the corner 

where Sophie lays... 

It was our resting spot 

whenever we were visiting

her, born 7th of January

expired just two weeks later

Sitting in the sun on the bench

snow melting away at our seams

we expect our impulses to take

us away, uplift us to another

horizon. But we remain there

quietly, contemplating life
