The two long haired blondes who have just decided that forever
No matter what may come
They will get through it
2.
We cry
As your monitor beeps
Your chin quivers
You pull up the white sheet around your chest
Nurses and drs in and out in and out collecting your time collecting your blood collecting your data so they can give you your news
I don't want to know how long you will still be here
And I do not want to remember you sick
I want to remember the grandpa who set up the train around the tree at Christmas
Who rubs grandmas feet and legs when they hurt
Who helps her put on her shoes and opens every door
The one who refuses to let someone else pay for our meal
The hidden cistern you must have in your belly for the jokes you create
Not afraid to say how you feel
My birthday present
3.
Life is marked by beauty and death
Both linger together as lovers
Making the beauty more beautiful
4.
I'll become better through this
Not bitter
5.
And this week and the next we will put our entire life on Davis in boxes and carry them to a new home
Next to the river
On willow dr.
6.
Through all of this I think of you
And how you must be hurting
And I'm sorry.
7.
All of this
Is part of this life we call short
What can we make of it
