Lost Cross Janet Kuypers 11/17/19 after you died someone not closer to you than me gave me your cross i kept it buried away because, bringing it too close to me, would be blasphemous one day, out of the blue i held it, and                    i dropped it and suddenly it vanished i searched frantically for that cross — but just in an instant it was forever lost you died years ago, lifetimes ago — and it still stuns me now that your cross is lost
