Three Months on the Tag

by Casey   Mar 22, 2005


Clutching stained clothes
three months on the tag
I feel my heart
slowly break.

I wonder if this could be remorse
For what happened so long ago
Tragedy locked in a small girl's memory
For twelve years.

Straightening the shirt
Laying it across my palms
Comforting a ghost
Holding her to my shoulder.

Is it anger
for the sister that is gone?
For being too young
To remember it all.

Cradling her gently
I lay her back on the blanket
In my hands i hold my breaking heart
woven in an infant's shirt
