A torn photograph of a turbulent sea
A crawling ladybird, its wings plucked free
A stained jacket sleeve, a discarded shoe
These foolish things remind me of you
A bruise and a stitch I can’t fathom at all
A mysterious stain on the bathroom wall
A doll dismembered and reformed with glue
These foolish things remind me of you
Drops of blood leading out of the door
A chalk outline, half-drawn on the floor
Your name crossed out in a botched tattoo
These foolish things remind me of you
Love the rhythm, harkening to a nursery rhyme. And speaking of rhymes… I quite enjoyed those, too. 🙂
