weighty separation anxiety

like pulling skin

jagged slowly, fast, slowly

layers of fibers course

strips left behind

only to be retrieved later

slowly, fast, slowly

with the weight of 1000x's you and yours

unlike previous farewells

time separation unyielding and pitch black

will i see you again?

will your hands grasp at mine

will your tear shattered eyes pierce into my entire 1-26 souls

you saw me first when i came

must i see you go?

the weight of every goodbye seems heavier than the last

from front doors to airport terminals

now your recliner wheel chair

and heart wrenching unkowns

questioned and hoped for

from your fibers and your dna code

to pieces of me

please come back. lets meet again soon.



*friday night when i arrived at the nursing home, i forgot what i once knew: to not give in until it has been decided. remembering to pray for HIS miracles.



LOVE. GRATITUDE. PEACE.
