We have the memories, 
their hands 
raking our ground, 
almost waking 
the dirt of our past. 
You’re here, 
never needing 
to hang on to the things 
we each grew out of,  
laughing about the fires 
that burn us away 
to take us back 
clean and bright, 
calling aloud to us 
to breathe.

Jill- The brevity of this poem speaks volumes. I've noticed you do that often. Your pen has a nice touch.
Nice poem Jill. I always like the pace and voice of your poems. They're very clear and delicate.
