Bright summer days no
friend to sadness. Solace lies
in winter’s dark chill.
Strands layered, length chopped,
I change, shed years, fears, regrets.
Why’d I wait so long?
Some days it’s enough:
an absent child’s return, a
dog’s rapt love, a kiss.
She cried at the film’s
end, remembering how much
she’d once loved the book.
We discuss the soul,
ponder death’s postlude, then choose
the happy ending.
Breathless, punched in the
gut seeing language evolve,
my own words falter.
