The Fabric is Rising
You left these pastel sheets so weightless
scattered still for the scent you rubbed in,
and though in every second memory grows thin,
these ribbed folds are reminders in the rugs that
you are just missing for a short time. In the
meantime, the furniture in my room must simply
stand tall with the sole weight of my form,
while for your soul it waits, for more, come home.
