a song to accompany your washcloth

By Brian Webb

One, last, time to wipe your face
While you’re still here
Love, joy, all that makes us
Hold your memories near
 

We won't call this letting go
More like sending you off
We feel your presence in our bones
Hear your voice in every song
 

Bright flames, turned to ember

Tears and smiles by your bed
Raise a glass together
Lips brush against your head
