They ask if I want to see your body

It’s time to say goodbye

My mind takes me to yesterday

Your embrace still fresh in my memory

It’s time to say goodbye

Strong arms, passionate kisses

Your embrace still fresh in my memory

Warm body, muscles everywhere

Strong arms, passionate kisses

Smiles as sweet as honey

Warm body, muscles everywhere

You trace your fingers above my heart

Smiles as sweet as honey

You kiss my face

You trace your fingers above my heart

I kiss your heart and your sinewy belly

You kiss my face

My mind takes me to yesterday

I kiss your heart and your sinewy belly

They ask if I want to see your body

a pantoum-style poem in beloved memory of Brandon aka “South”

As Samhain and Día de Muertos approaches and our family begins to set our altars, there is always a special place on mine for this magnificent man who blessed my life and the lives of all who knew him.
