remembrance
Karen Baumgart
you say rosemary
is for remembrance,
so I gather
flickering fragments
into fragrant bundles,
neatly trussed like
tiny shocks of wheat.
they stand crookedly,
desperately courageous
and already unravelling
with the soft breeze of
moments passing.
Karen Baumgart lives in Australia and enjoys reading, running and baking. She loves working as a policy officer in government, especially when it creates opportunities for marginalised people to have a voice. Karen used to be an English teacher, and still believes writing is the best therapy.
