Dorothy

 

The lady read me

Now and again,

Though I never knew

Her very well

I knew she had a heart

As big as everything

Out there,

She liked flowers

And roses,

The shape and texture

Of stones,

Loved dogs and Facebook,

Loved Peter and her family

In a very special way,

Sometimes death

Seems so damn final

As we struggle to carry on,

But it’s that whisper no one else hears,

The aroma of perfume and roses,

The invisible touch on your forehead,

On your back, sending familiar shivers

That let you know that there

Never is an ending.
