burnt toast

burnt toast persists
a gift from those wee
those best unseen
lingering at the shadow
i have not the dream
to share that their gift
is welcome not in these
grey hours kissed
with gold

    I image a late night, someone burning toast, and the next morning that smell lingers, and brings back unsure memories.
