WHAT REMAINS
by Jane Lucas
after Cairn by
Ginger Owen-Murakami and Vicki Van Ameyden
Piled in with the
faces,
a monogram on a screen
door.
Not her grandmother’s,
but a sudden reminder
. . .
One letter of cursive
metal
evokes another
and the porch
where she finds
herself again,
tracing the C in
her mind
and waiting.
Love this. When we emptied out my mother's house, the metal K fell off the door and I took it with me. This poem reminds me of many things.
