August was an array of affection
The cars of family and friends streamed into your garden of brugmansias
Which, like you, bloomed at night as you enjoyed a cup of jasmine tea
September smelled like musk
It wrapped around an ethereal dream
Your garden was characterized
By tire marks of the cars that had left
A cavalcade of memories
October was cold and hazy
It was sterile
I held your hand inside of the hospital room for the last time
While you murmured reaffirmations
That will be passed to generations
