parted for the
briefest of moments today-
just enough time for a slim
ray of sunlight to slip
right through.
Through my new large
office window, right
above the entrance of
a hospital, where families
rush inside to get the most terrible
news of their most beloved.
Beloved father, mother,
partner, child,
grandparent, & best friend.
All that invisible glue and
intangible love that organizes
our ridiculously messy lives.
Lives surrounded by tigers
who stand on the edges of
the cliff where we hang off
the side, all the while
eating a luscious
strawberry.
Lives built upon fragility,
vulnerability,
uncertainty, and of course,
death.
Death of this moment,
and then the next.
Flowing seamlessly, beauty
upon terror, terror upon
beauty. Beginning to end,
end to beginning.
Look, the sunlight is
camouflaged once more.
Once more.
-Me
