Garbage Day

There they lay, a pair of blackslip-on shoes in the doorway

They are my brother's

The cobwebs and holes are proof of wear

Still, after so many years, they are there

It came time to throw them away

But the thing is I hurt my mother so bad, she cried for days.

And I cried too.

she told me "He didn't have much to his name. Not a lot to remember him by."

Said they gave her comfort everytime she walked by.

Made her feel as if he were still here.

I tried to take it back when I realized what I'd done.

But today is friday...Garbage day.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
