Whispers and Echoes

I made a picture with your name
written over and over again
in pristine letters
to create an image
a scene I held onto for years and years and years.

The other day I ripped it up
threw the scraps in a box
to be used for paper mâché
I think that’s moving on
I think it’s time to forget.
