Campbell

by Seth - Pisces

He held crushed velvet to his face
and soaked it in memory.
Almost funny, it was the very same thing
that made it a beautiful day that had cloaked
the sky in a crimson, deep red that 
dripped 
off
the 
tree
branches
like honey.
And when he held his loss in his shaking hands
he realized that as he was 
waking up 
she was
dying.
(both of which are alot alike if you think about it)
and that no soft smile, childs hug or 
uneasy visit would bring her back.
It was his first look at death and her last.

Reason for writing:

    thank you for reading.  maybe its not a poem, i still think its art.
