after my younger sister’s memorial service
Robin’s
reclining chair
& end table
sitting near
the bay
window –
ice box
snow –
find
in the drawer
her reading
glasses,
Bic
disposable lighter
& a stack
of photographs –
all of them
me

Poetry
Very visually evocative and deeply felt.
A visceral image of the loss of your sister. Speaks volumes. A lifetime of memories.
