[bodytext] => Yahrzeit A solitary candle flickers and breathes pulsating with light of remembrance. Surrounding it, the dark room encounters And befriends the silence of the watching walls Caressed by the pictures, carvings, natural stones. A faint smell of furniture, tang of polish Muzzles under a warming tongue. The small light beats wings against the glass Until its energy spends one single day, A life that weeps upon a waxen floor, A memory burned into the atmosphere. Reminder of the small soft warm woman Who closed with resignation her pained brown eyes, Now fourteen years ago, and who relives her Short span enduring in the lonely flame. Timid flame, tender light, trembling spark So soon forsaken, folding in the dark, Consumes us still with immemorial grief.
