First Words
October 02, 20251 Comments

 



first words

for you

so much to say


I wish you were

here

to

hear


I know

you are

here


in my heart

spaces


between

lines

and

breath

FaceTime
October 01, 20251 Comments

 



I sit in silence

staring

 at the screen

seeking

the shortcut

back

to

you


I see the place


there

between 

groceries

and

a goddess


where

I

pressed


five times

a day

for the past

five years


seen your face

smiling back at me

on the screen


I hear my own voice

urging you to be ok

with this

just this

for there will come a time

when I finally 

make that jump

across the pond


you insisting you were content

so long as you could see

my face

hear

my voice


'we have FaceTime' 

your offer

of solace 

when I simply could not make the journey


I hear your phone ring

in the other room

when my finger slips, 

my heart skips

then

shatters


on your screen

this 

time

I see

my face

1 missed call


nothing now to do

I press on

Fall into Winter


Join me for this season of words...

An exploration of all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: 

nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect
