the dead I knew



 
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...
