Baguette and cheese
Of photography and particle physics,
Talking respective loves,
And purging out hates.
Of friendships lasting much longer
than puny, short lives.
And thoughts living forever.
Of home made bolognese and tiramisu,
And baguette and cheese
in a brown bag for lunch.
Of memories weaving in and fading out
Of aches that somehow
refuse to go away.
Songs pause on my lips while life…
life flows, strangely, on.
And you…you…have gone.
I enjoyed how you brought this poem to a close. I was hooked by the use of food in the first line, and you did a great job of using the ordinary and mundane to create something special.
Thank you so much, @rosemars!
love love this.
Thank you! It was an ode to a close friend.

Very sweet ode of remembrance to the loss of a friend.
Sounds simple. Reads deep.
