yesterday’s remains

it’s been two years and still the occasional long hair peeks it’s way off the collar of a shirt trapped in the depths of the closet

the same hair that tickled my nose when she leaned in for a kiss

the same hair in a ponytail she would ask to be pulled

it’s odd how she doesn’t figure into the day to day

but she leaves trails like a spirit of days gone sour still, tickling the back of my neck as i dress for the day

taunting reminiscence of an age long gone, sepia toned photos of smiles turned to tears

i pluck it from the fibers where it has woven itself and watch as it floats with the rest of the lost items down the road

yesterday’s remains clouding the blue skies of today
