gone so quickly, dying too swiftly
i like the floral hints of this perfume
when it is bottled
but it so quickly sours once on my skin
just as all the bread in the bread basket
molds in two days time
dying swiftly and gone too soon
rot that takes my fruit
cancer that takes papaw
days that took my childhood
all at once, it seems
One thought on "gone so quickly, dying too swiftly"

Amazing movement from ordinary to deep loss.
