Still

Deather | Simone Kulinski | Painting

Still by Emma Scharff

I want to die, my grandmother tells me

but there’s so much still;

the sunbeams unfractured by loss, changed only by those stained panes of window glass

there is still the day, rain soaked as it is

and that new world of yours

unencumbered by remembrance

a trail of fleeting moments and fading memories

photographs

now devoid of color

no, adopting a grey scale

now vintage-chic
