we once chased dragons

last night was a difficult night
I found your shirt in the closet
that was steeped in your scent
I inhaled that woodsy cologne
as tears filled my eyes
I remembered how we once
chased dragons across mountains
until the moon took you away

    Nice lines: "I remembered how we once
    chased dragons across mountains"

    This is such a sad quadrille! I shed a tear for your memories of a dragon chaser with a woodsy cologne.

    The rush of pain and joy with the tactile and pungent token, this explicated the true presses of grief and memory. Powerful piece. Thank you.
