What is Left of my Son

another tribute to my son, who is missing presumed dead in the Bavarian Alps since April

an old car with rusty brakes

models, the Eiffel Tower, a zeppelin,

combs, a toothbrush, muddy sandals;

posters of sunsets and other better places,

a souvenir mug from Venice, an unmade bed

handwritten notes, letters unanswered,

a ghost that wanders through my veins

and the present of your life

i am so saddened by these poems about your son...thoughts and prayers are with you...hope that you can get some kind of closure or better yet, a miracle...

It's absolutely seeable how the write has been penned, a lot of trembles in heart, in soul, in hands had been there while writing this for your beloved soul. I'm so sorry, I wish death never existed.
