REMEMBERING HER.

A MAN REMEMBERS A LONG AGO LOVE.

Remember
Yehudit
the first kiss

that Christmas
beneath moon
and far stars

lips to lips
bodies close
the others

singing songs
or carols
while we held

out of it
as lovers
on the edge

of the world
now you're dead
claimed back then

by cancer
Yehudit
remember

you amongst
the far stars
the bright one

brighter than
moon or sun.
