The Vicksburg of her own life Feb. 19, 2024

 

Reasons don’t matter,

It is what it is,

Strolling over paths

Unseen save

In memory,

Today’s faces

Becoming

Tomorrow’s spirits.

floating in the ethos of remoteness

unable to re-forge old friendships,

must make new group moments,

Your pain evident

Even as you pose for this happy moment,

Divorced from a reality

And so, looks back,

At pictures before the surrender,

Retreating

After having purchased the farm

For the second time

In her now all-so-long existence

Trying not to get trapped again

in the Vicksburg of her own life.
