Words after a parent dies.
almost feel like a dictionary with no print
blank pages no words or definitions
nothing, maybe a leaking valve
or a pipe about to let go
don’t know, thoughts have become like lint
tumbling around, changing positions
something undone, cut in half
a piece is missing as was not long ago
all of this life I have seen
the purpose behind it suddenly disappears
displaced with tears
fears of never again, words heard
or shared with them not there
a foundation built from two
gone forever, so close together
leaving me wondering
almost like a child they brought into this world
no feelings old enough to understand
the eyes blurred with tears too soon to be seen
and suddenly swept away
left standing without reasoning
sitting still as I write
for some reason these words
are enough for tonight……………..
