Walks on the beach,
nights by the fire,
the pictures you painted,
the words that you spoke,
the towels that you chose,
handmade birthday cards,
the last earrings you wore,
your wedding band
on my right hand--
I'm not talking about
a sample of your ashes,
though I have that too,
but all these things
are fragments of you.
