Memory Card

Today I saw your face appear
green eyes fixed on mine.
Heart-struck am I since you're long gone
sans fur, sans flesh beneath the stone,
you lie as bone. But captured by a shutter press
immortalised these last few years
within the camera's consciousness

  1. Oh Laura, a heart-breaking poem and so heart-felt. I have that with the images of my parents and a very close friend I lost that keep popping up on my screen.

  2. Ugh I still memories from 5 years ago of my beautiful kitty and it always breaks my heart! I loved the way you incorporated grief into this callous age of technology…
