Last Sigh
The woman lying on the hospital bed
Silent, intuition discerning
The last breath, last sigh, goodbye
Whispered beneath a soft cry
From the soul who she was leaving behind
She had been a daughter, a wife, a mother
She’d known sorrow,...

the new normal
I'm isolated, waiting
at home with my wife
adapting like others
to our normal new life

The Visit
The Visit

Neglected at the corner,
The broken glass wearing a coat,
Of a fine film of dust.

Her skin a light...
