Painting by Susan Shottonyour trinkets remain
your scent lingers
but you were never here
the you i knew
exists only in memory
only in mind
a varnished monster
polished into prince charming
a dead body
reanimated
into my Frankenstein monster
to fit my fancy
pieces of you
dissolving into
nothing more than
chalk paintings
in the rain
