Suspenders

over a flannel shirt

red and black plaid

Long strides

ahead of me

Long, long spaces

of silence

And then the question.

Always just the right question

to get to the heart

Often on a drive

Memories

too many to even recall

let alone capture.

Four years,

at times unfathomable

at least for us mortals

left on earth.
