The Book of Hours
by Rainer Maria Rilke
After me, After I die
Thou has no house where in
words, near and warm, greet thee
From thy tired feet falls
the velvet sandal that I am
A My Private Coney project
Flash non-fiction, brief moments and old memories of a city and mother's emotional and physical real estate disappearing at the speed of heartbreak.
