For my sister, in memoriam
Absent no Longer by Marjon van Bruggen
Artwork by MoonWillow at FanArtReview.com



People keep seeing you
and telling me
how white you are
how thin you are.

I have not seen you
for several years
but slowly you are
forming above my head
white as rose petals
white as milk.

I see
the dark narrow stems
of your ankles and wrists,
until you are always with me
a flowering branch
suspended over my life.

Author Notes
I know she is no longer here, but she will always be a part of me.
