Even The Sky
I return,
but nothing is
as I imperfectly remember it,
the places I used to frequent
aren’t the same sepia tint,
even the sky refuses to be a memory,
the flowers no longer speak
as they once did,
my mood is on the loose
looking for a feeling,
at once muted, at once excited,
trying not to locate a grief
as I attempt, just for a moment,
to rekindle yesterday.
