they left flowers

 they left flowers


they left flowers

found flowers for us

memories for them

we feel their trespass

in the wails of the wind

that are brandished here

skin flints of the mind

there in one cold stare

written on a card 

read by the writers of other cards 

that they left here with their

found words for us

coloured candles 

flickering amongst the flowers

they left for the drying of their tears

and for our desiccation 

this long autumn
