Listen to poem:
The Die Is Cast
there’s a seismic gap
between the then and now
i see it widen
with every gaping breath
working your way
to the other world
the fog is clearing
the bridge appearing
that’s it
the time has come
you’re leaving me
hardly by choice
goodbye to dreams
we shared
just one more i love you
another smile
one more connection
as nightfall descends
i hear the moon beckon
