Today I fulfilled one of
your wishes
and gave all your clothes
(at least all those Claudia and
Raquel didn't want)
to the Salvation Army.
Packing them was easier
than I expected
You, after all, were not your clothes.
They were
decorations that changed over the years.
I got through that just
fine.
But when the truck came to take them away
Unanticipated
emotions overcame me
as tears welled in my eyes
that I stupidly
fought
It was like losing you all over again.
Your being taken away,
impersonally,
like that night now a month ago,
by people just doing a
job.
Frozen to the spot, fighting the tears
I know what you would
say,
Você é frio, when you know I'm not.
Until Thomas
comes and breaks my reverie.
