A lamentation
Fifteen minutes isn’t enough
time to say goodbye to
a best friend.
It’s light work.
A chit-chat session.
An offering for small talk.
I needed forever.
I didn’t get it.
Life is a reminder that
we all meet our demise.
No one is exempt.
My mind knows this.
It has processed the definitive
inevitability of an end date
one thousand times, but
my heart?!
My heart is still on pause.
I worry… how long will
it remain in limbo
while everything else within
me moves without stopping?
Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?
I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with a previous place of employment, as it pertains to racism and discrimination, growth from the transition after resigning from that company, and life’s foibles and overall experiences. I welcome your visit.
