i will miss you
i already do. Its all out in the cold for us now,
a warm, loving presence
that we took for granted for so long
has gone away
to her eternal rest
and i am left sitting downstairs
where there is no heat
On a ricketty old rattan chair
at my son’s old desk, thinking, well,
thars about how it is now
with a beautiful light gone out of the world.
