that day by the lake
quietly absorbing the color and light

very sick, my mother spent the last few months of her life in a nursing home. each time I’d visit I’d find her propped up in a chair by the nurse’s station. one day I asked “what are you doing out here, mom?”
“I’m waiting to buy my ticket,
the train is coming.”

the month of letting go

Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.
