This morning after coffee and croissants
I reached out to her and put my arms around–
Around her now fragile dove like body
…
Birthday cake in the oven
heart beating pumping up, up, up
…
This morning she did ask me, my mom
Why did it take me so long?
I didn’t have any coherent answer, of course not
…
Birthday cake in the oven
heart beating pumping up, up, up
…
This morning deep meaningful hugging
trembling body with my arms around–
Around her now fragile dove like body
