Willows Weep

Poem for Sis

Should length slightly wavy chestnut gray streaked hair

Spread across satin ecru pillow sham

Charcoal black circled weary watery sad almond shaped eyes

Search familial pale empty faces

Antique white mid-calf flowing dress

Miniature pearls dot Irish lace trim

Bellows in warm spring sultry breeze

Satin slippers barely touch each ascending thread bare winding narrow stair

Frail transparent out stretched gentle hand lightly skims

Bright pink rose petals

Falling upon newly toiled moist earth

Still searching familial pale empty faces
Willows weep.
