"An Aftermath"- recently published by Wilderness House Review

There is a car
exactly like mine
where I parked.

The key will not open.

There is a word she once said
I knew would change
everything.

I am afraid to remember.

There is a child
whose unseeing brown eyes
like me would perceive only silhouettes

and whose vanity would tremble
while releasing all he thought
he held.

He is the door I cannot enter.
