BACK STORY    

 

missing you

I warm the bed

with a hot brick

          There is a memorial service and I receive your ashes.

          I listen to your troubled breathing until it stops.

          You call me bitch for putting you in a nursing home.

          Your condition is worsening, and you need a wheel chair.

          Cognition is going, your body is weakening, moods are erratic.

          We know something is wrong even before the diagnosis.

 a dawdling day

with lazy plans to drift

in the quiet

dusk delivers a cool breeze

and a hint of  lilacs

pushing through the day

small reminders of age

force a slower pace

this season of winter

becomes a quieter time
