Today I left my trinkets
and teddies and toys and tears
scattered on the floor.
I walked into the sunlight
and was set aflame
by the new day.
A soft breeze came, silently,
whisking away my cremated skin
and settling my mind's ashes
over the earth like dandelion seeds
tossed into the clouds
by a child's kiss -
I opened my eyes, invigorated
and smiling. My hand reached
into a paper bag of peaches
as I watched the clutter on the floor
eat up my space.
