In Memory of Audrey by Jason Kish

I stood,

Your words in my head. Spoken

The last moment we shared,

Patiently waiting, watching

The soft chaos of the universe

Wrap its body around yours.

The sky that night:

Radiant darkness, shining ice,

Covered breathing springtime hills,

Stood tall above the glow, above tombs,

Resting finally upon

Your marble name.

I pressed it to my soul

So that sky,

Would remind me of

My promise, my rage.
