Helen

Nearly a year ago
When you left
I never had a chance to say a proper goodbye
I was engaged
To cancer at the time
My life turned upside down
Pieces of me scattered
In the menagerie of loss
Today I found
My yesteryear self
Reflected in your lens
From another time
Your keen eye
Spanning the future
As if to say
“I see into you, always, my friend”
