I took your picture
down

finally

stored it carefully
with the rest of your memories
layered in thoughts, buried  

a ‘things to toss box’

‘flip the coin over’ you said

that’s just what I did today,
and when your likes
didn’t come up
heads or tails

I drew a line in the dust,
crossed myself over it

and left your picture
where it rests
best

we are both free now

I had to burn a photograph to get past it.  Kacy, you are able to say so much so well with just so few words.  *hugs*...jo

Oh, I really like this one. I always felt if the end must come,it has to be with style and as few words as possible. Words don't bring back anything but memories. martyjo

I guess the word I am looking for is 'impactful'--it was so...straight-thinking...like you just wanted to just say 'yes'...when you were finished and rest in the moment of awareness

Steaven, I am smiling here, as I am rarely accused of straight-thinking.
I am delighted this came across
as a yes! thanks much for reading and commenting!
