green m&m's

i am told 
that our memories become
increasingly faded &
distorted
each time we recall 
them;


but i still remember clearly:
the pure-haired old woman who 
cried
as my sister & i disappeared behind 
the tarnished silver 
doors 
of the
rest home 
elevator.

  2. this is incredible and tragic and vivid and you did it all within two paragraphs. Seriously, that's amazing
