The Baby's Sock

the floods came
water overflowing riverbanks
debris floated down

a child's sock
floated lonesome by
jogging her memories

the sacrifices she made
the child she lost
the man who left

T'was all over now
her life almost over
only taunting memories remained

Ohh this packs a punch deeply... it reminds me of tsunami images in Thailand from 2004...
Wow Grace.... you elicit it perfectly, in such succinct brevity.
I can feel the ache.
