Remember

Cindy Flux

Before

the sun filters

His stare through

The infested olive trees,

She lights candles

In each room. Later,

I extend

a taper and ignite

Tea lights, think

Of my grandparents.

Tell me,

who would run over a lizard?

One-by-one

the pigeons flew

In an arc and left one

Behind.

This looks like a woven

God’s eye beside an altar

Of remembrance.
