Common Dream I

Jo Bower

On a gray day
I forget who I am
Or who I was
When I last walked with you

the art of gathering
I want to collect
all who are dear to me
inhale your mingling
pungent smells
listen to your
wise words
one by one
dropping from the sky
shiny silver coins
each one destined
to find its niche
far beyond my own heart’s reach
