Matter

Accost the old man
bring him back to days
you were a regular at his
pizza joint
Re-charm him in Italian
like you did before
when you had a different love
To prove you are of somewhere
you belong to it and all of it's people
Will be remembered
will be treasured
matter, mean something
will not be forgotten
Are woven into it's fabric
Existed
Won't be found alone
after weeks of decay
only because the
neighbour's cat came
clawing at the door
