Day Five
Title: you will break over this soon
About a year or so year ago, my friend Paul wrote a blog about his mother's failing health. It was one of those rare and beautiful moments of openness when grief trumps loneliness and a hand is reached out.
***
fold & break
-for Paul
your mother in a nursing home
your mother wiped blank, clean
your mother broken
will is
a strange blue flower
folding delicate
folding in on itself
in the end
the will is being drawn
you will break
over this soon,
fold and
break
