about

My response to these exquisite responses. Some times we get overwhelmed by loss and I express the loss of my own mother who I adored in this poem.

lyrics

In Memoriam

Today is every day
Now that you are gone
I see the veil between us
When I wake in the middle of the night and day.

I still have hope
That when I sleep you will come
The door is shut
Will I still see you

My body forces me upright
And I yearn for you to be too close to me
So that I can turn away
Content in the dance of intimate space

I still have hope
That when I sleep you will come
The door is shut
Will I still see you,
I ask you who are so close
To unravel my heart

How strange it is to make toast without you
To forget how much honey you take,
To have no-one talking to the birds
No-one to finish my thoughts
Wingspan of two eagles
Unravelling my heart

I still have hope
That when I sleep you will come
Like the first wind of Spring
The door is shut but not for long,
Will you finish my thoughts?

I pray today
That when I sleep you will come
You will appear like an angel
Floating outside my bedroom
Wingspan of two eagles,
Unravelling my heart

I still have hope
That everything can be fluid
That you will come
Like the first wind of Spring
I ask you
To unravel my heart
