How does it help
To say that I miss you
To bring up the moments -
Enshrined in a sealed vault
How does it help
To wonder where you are
To think if you’re happy
With somebody else now
Why does it hurt -
To Visit old places
Familiar faces
A pediment to the past
Maybe it helps-
To shutter in fences
Electric defenses
So I’ll never go near
Maybe it helps -
To salt out the soil
So annuals spoil
The thorns can’t now take root
I Walk in the weeds
The pests and their needs have
My garden unkept
With blooms over buried tombs
