The West changes you…
 its wind blowing
distant and near 

A promise you 
had always meant
to keep

A feeling
better gifted
than kept

A memory
forever waiting 
—unknown

There once was a new ghost from Limon
Who was banished to spend death alone
He'd had no flair to flaunt
Didn't know where to haunt
So he spent Halloween on the phone

Lost in the miles, lost in the smiles,
the road calls out my name

Throttle in hand, a beckoning land,
no two days then the same

Direction unmapped, my nose to attack,
what’s never been before

Fate rides ahead, making my bed
—the wind to know for sure

To think of death before she died,
to go where we can not yet go
but still we must. 

To be 3,000 miles away when she 
gave up the ghost and surrendered, 
eyes closed forever, with nary a sound. 

Wanting to have said "goodbye mum" 
when she was still here to hear it, 
and before the light was gone for her, 
but not yet for me.

              *******

Inspired by the poetry of Ada Limon,
and with thoughts on my own mother's death....
