Just a thing
   
Here I sit,
with my grandfather's legs.
He disappeared in the rain of time,
the minutes of his watch
ticking in my inner ear,
a candle for when it gets dark.

He really was one of us.
But now he is one of them,
horrors of the green, quiet,
nightingale cemeteries,
a child's sole on someone's
name, just a thing, not related.
