Emily, gone: memorial

faded sepia
the ancient photograph
cracked. history of ghosts

memories age, where time is caught
write your dream on the wind
life and death embrace

almost pretty, in an amber square
someone’s sweetheart.
someone’s victim

tender girl, and youthful
she sleeps with angels.
youthful still

in the broken part of the day,
it rained for you.
at least it rained
