embers the way you dys-remember us dismembers me, ripping heart from sleeve, torn in fragments, crimson tissue littering the street, diamonds rubied to burning coal beneath bare feet, walking as i do, away from you, two steps forward, one step back to me.

Excellent imaginative and creative prose "...two steps forward, one step back to me..." so true from the heart. Thanks for sharing, Gloria

You express so much with an economy of words that is impressive, Anne. Thank you. Love and peace. Regis

Thank God for simplicity and choice words. I loved the beginning of this the best, because that "dys-remember" stays with the reader throughout the poem.
