Source: We Heart It

Unified…

Your scent still lingers
on the rose-colored pillow case
you detested…
On your tuxedo shirt and
felted Western hat
 
Breathing deeply…
The memories flood in
And…
I cry
 
Like Cohen wrote…
“… the heart is a rage
of directions…”*
there is no Mercy
 
I refuse to wash
that shirt or pillow case
The only pieces of you
that remain
 
I wear the hat when
the missing becomes 
too much
 
Your scent…
My raging heart
Unified…

*The follow line from Leonard Cohen’s poem #50 The Book of Mercy was my inspiration today.
 
” … the heart is a rage of directions, but your name unifies the heart …”
