The True Nature of LossĀ 

The True Nature of Loss 

 

As she entered the room,

I suddenly

remembered the scent

and the taste

and the feel of orchards

and harbours

and sixteen other sacred

places that

   I visited during my youth ..

And although

I never quite forgot them

I no longer

think of them each day or

mourn their

existential passing, such is

   the nature of loss ..
