the dead I knew
too many magnets
holding too many photographs
on my fridge door
of people I once knew
some were much loved
my heart is filled with them
and I remember
some i'll love
in the "forever"
of my life
upon the question
of what was the worst
about aging
my grandmother's answer was:
losing those you love
and who you never
wanted to lose
ojala, I still have room
in my old heart
as there are surely
more to come...
