Belated
Chelsey Miguel
A meditation on memory, love, and the faces we carry with us through illness and time.
Somewhere at the beginning of time
I see her face hidden behind a postcard
Her smile before the journeys arrived
Belated, but not forgotten
The letters I never sent
The words that arrived too late
But love does not expire
It simply waits
Like a postcard
Tucked behind the door
I see her face hidden behind a postcard
Her smile before the journeys arrived
Belated, but not forgotten
The letters I never sent
The words that arrived too late
But love does not expire
It simply waits
Like a postcard
Tucked behind the door
