My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie B&P’s Shadorma & Beyond – Shadorma Summation – July 30, 2016
Five years have passed
Since that dark summer,
Amy Winehouse gone
And you in a coma.
I held your hand
And said your name,
Talking until you came
Back and we thought
Everything would be the same.
You called me on the telephone
To tell me you were home
And that you’d sent money
To buy a bracelet
As a birthday gift.
Just four days
Before my birthday
You were dead.
On my wrist,
A trinket made of silver
Was heavy as lead.

Thank you. It’s the anniversary of his death this weekend. My daughter and her husband are coming up to mark it with us.

I’m so sorry for your loss … the years may pass but I know that a corner of one’s soul still feels that emptiness that should be full. This was beautifully and poignantly written.
