Lilac



April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land. Mixing
Memory and desire. Stirring
dull roots with spring rain.

T.S. Eliot,  "The Waste Land"

I want to stand the whole day under my father's lilac tree, its perfume filling me with memories of him. He's been gone for exactly a year today.
