In remembrance.
I let the palm of my hand
slip over the surface of the lapping
water
watching the birds in the sky
breathing the salt from the sea
I asked Jesus why she would ever
leave me
Scooping the wet sand
from the reaches of the quiet waves
I pray
Why did she leave me?
Oh God, why did she leave me?
