mementos
of you
I keep safe
in a drawer
a hatpin
a bracelet
and a picture of you
I so adore
as I feel and touch
these things
floods of tears
well in my eyes
why did the army
need you more than me
and leave me
only the mementos
of loss and grief

now this is brilliant ....

quite possibly my favorite of so many favorites by you ..... this is an incredible piece of evocative writing in so few words but yet you convey a novel's worth of sentiment and meaning - which is simply - astounding!!!!! Bravo!
