It feels like much longer
than two months ago
or perhaps just yesterday
Mom drew a last difficult breath
then stopped
it seems impossible
that she is gone
hand and mind reach daily for the phone
to check in with no one
grief travels a winding road
often silent, shadowed
a walk through the woods
trees in full leaf
grief travels a winding road
screams, memories flashing
clouds drawn back
exposing the raw
I can't predict, or dictate
as I open my hands
to the wind, trusting
storms of tears
wash clean
