a tender plant
pushes through the cracks ...
cemetery

sunset serenade -
the music lingers
even after he leaves

papeeha
looks up at the sky -
parched lips

scrabble ...
the longest word I make
‘lockdown’

old drawers ...
I find
‘a new me’

his last trip
on waters of the Ganges ...
a floating urn

you and me
together yet apart -
beads of a rosary
