junia

a sonnet

we had pancakes for lunch, on a friday.

I smell the fat, the oil, the eggs and see you in

the kitchen, sitting on the bench behind

the wooden table, standing up to greet me.

 

our hugs did not last long. you wore

the blue striped t-shirt that I saw you in

today, lying in a bed that wasn´t yours

and never will be, now.

 

a yellow flower in your hands that did

not look like it belonged to you, I thought

I saw you breathing -

you didn´t though, of course.

 

wait for me in heaven, will you?

I know I´ll wait for you.
