Intaglio
“She lives with us in memory and will forever.”
There’s just one problem.
I don’t remember her.
I never will.
Visiting the grave.
I can’t cry for her.
I stare at the stone.
Emptiness.
It happened to other people.
It was real-not-real.
She did and did not exist.
She knew me but she didn’t know me.
I knew her but I never knew her.
Mythical and magical
Silence
Is she really down in there?
Where did she actually go?
Summer sun and freshly mown grass;
This is her scent.
She has a birth date and an end of life date.
She was loved and is missed by many.
Including me.
“She lives with us in memory and will forever.”
But I can’t remember her.

Date: 2021-11-17 12:33 pm (UTC)Yeah, and in my case, it's a POV of being taught and told about my birth mother but never knowing myself / 1st hand. I do question (some of) the accuracy of the info I've been told, but my sister's info is consistent and we have a lot of photos.
Thanks for reading and sharing.
