Lima

The fingertips of heaven grasp her now
Body in pieces soul as one
You are not here anymore, but you are remembered
Eating crab with your hands on the beach
Smelling the sea air and walking the boardwalk
Holding my head while I threw up all the candy you bought me with your last dollars
Asking for money at Christmas time
Instead of gifts
Yelling at your drunk husband to leave us alone
Sitting on the stoop judging the loose ladies
I am missing you now
I will never forget you
But I cannot cry, because, you would laugh at me
