#NaHaiWriMo 2017 - day thirteen

sitting here, your skin

increasingly paper thin

your small hand in mine

*

i sit next to the bed

wait for you to gain your voice

let me be strong

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day twelve

we stand together

so let there be celebration

here is an answer

*

embraced by love

surrounded by the breathing

the peace of it all

*

in the final moment

only one thing matters

did you  love?

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day eleven

surprised by laughter

sitting around the table

the future’s weight

*

the future’s weight

sitting around the table

surprised by laughter

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day ten

lie back and lie still

when there don’t seem to be answers

the only thing to do

#NaHaiWriMo 2017 – day nine

gathered in stillness

there is nothing to be done

just steady breathing

*

halted conversation

unspoken demand stretches

every requirement

*

surprised by beauty

i wanted to say something

my tongue thick and slow
