Cover My Flesh

A 1996 watercolor from Melinda's book of paintings and poems, Earthly Fidelity

Death

From Melinda’s poem in The Art of Love [her book of paintings and poems 1993]

No more
air enters
motions your lips.

I cannot make clean the squalor.

But the many breaths
drawn from your life
come
to the rooms where you lived
fill them with quiet.

The many breaths
all your time past
passed to
the drawers
littered
each room
where I sit where you sat.

I cannot make clean the squalor.

There is
no more air.
