When All Else Fail
When the column breaks
And the metal be devoured by rust,
When the termites finish off
the last piece of furniture
And the glass all shattered into fragments,
You remain with that tiny flicker.
Author's Note: Written in 2006 for my mom, and inspired by a tragedy in the family. It was published in the Crossroads, our literary publication in high school, of which I was a news writer.
