what must we forget?
we bury what
we must forget
we cover
what we love
with soil
we put a bouquet
of flowers
must it be because
we have loved
so much and they
can no longer
love us in return?
if we keep on coming
and sit with their
silence
are we not opening
the outer skins that
help us
heal the wounds
that have long wanted
to rest
in hiding?
we must forget because
love and life
have to move on
and we who are left here
cannot weep forever
we have wept and we
have put salt to earth
that is enough
offering
for all those who are dead
and now
have reigned in their
kingdoms of
silence
