I feel your humming.
Though you are far,
the vibrations of your present loss
reverberate.
I am humming
remembering you
near
nearer
nearest
wrapped around
my memories
squeezing like
a garbage compactor
humming
as it crushes
moments into
memories.

Wow…
Love the use of the garbage compactor imagery. Catches you by surprise but relays the uncomfortable & undesirable nature of the situation well.
The part about memories squeezing can be felt physically as a hug. Good stuff. Thanks for writing.
Thanks for reading!
As always, such a beautiful remembrance!
Thanks!
