Knots of Love Untied
trying
to tie knots           no easy task                  organizing
memories into bundles
memories of father
& mother husband child friends          memories of home
life before                       life
after                        you were a part of it all  
memories of
you             still hard to believe       all could be untied
in an
instant                    ashes scattered to the wind               in four directions
your words of
anger        trembling                      i record all your
words
in memory                       my
throat tight              i
stand speechless
you make
accusations      there is no logic           no
yesterday   
no tomorrow                    the
shoes you wear       are not crystal slippers
i do not know
you            fumbling                       i let go
the knot                            that
held you                 release you from my heart

This is a deep passage you are making, my friend. I know the feeling - the sorting of bundles, before and after, the look at shared history changed now with the other's incorrect perception. Oh, I know. The release will allow our hearts to carry on.
perfect.
