Robin’s Egg Blue

Three years later and you are still dead.
When you died, I wanted to

dip my hands into what was left of you
mark my face somehow

so everyone would know
of summers when we were young,

before you were a body inside a casket
the color of those bird eggs

we found empty in the grass.
