DÓLÁS


seven
years now
since

but no
can't bring myself
to say it

remember reading
somewhere sometime
that the body

replaces itself
every...was it
seven years or so

the trillions of cells
of you
that I loved

from an eyelash
to an esophagus
changing with time

all the time
changing changing
replacing replicating

from skin
to skeleton
you forever

you always
the same
to me

Death now
changing
everything

I refusing
to part
with any of your clothes

dresses...blouses
silent in your wardrobe
your daily disguises

I finish the book
you never had
the time to finish

I read it
to your ghost
in your voice

now my grief
changes it all
changes every thing

book goes in bin
clothes to
second hand shop

I change our bed
can't bear it
without you

your study too
even the kitchen
replaced now

but still you remain
gone
I dead to this world

you alive so alive
only
in my mind
