Colors,
or shades of them
she preferred primary colors
yellow, red and blue
Textures,
the rough edge of our worn carpet
the soft blanket, once drapped across our bed
now balled up in a closet
Sounds,
a hum for example,
It's important to differentiate
the whir of the frig from the drone of a plane
Memories,
the real ones
documented in letters and pictures
false ones, that I cannot forget
