Polka-dot memories

Polka-dot memories

Your red dress, sublime.

Seth said he saved it for the girls

To be worn another time.

You always lost your sunglasses

I think whenever I put on mine.

For all the shade in this damn world

It never eclipsed your shine.

I can’t believe it’s been a year

Since you put your trust in trying.

Hoping for the science of medicine

And God to keep you from dying.

Wish I could say I understand

The world still spins but dimmer.

I’d give anything to hear you laugh

Dancing in hot pink shimmer.
