What We Bury

He wore the quiet like a shroud,

a dusty book left on the shelf.

In the corner, muted laughter,

while we shuffled like ghosts, ourselves.


The church stood heavy, light dying slow,

a fading sun behind darkened blooms.

We stood at the altar, hearts brimming,

tracing memories, filling rooms.
