Mommy

05 Jun

I am an unhinged door

Heathcliff skulking across the moor

All the words left unsaid

All the to-dos undid.

It turns out

A life doesn’t have to be complete to end.

The bills unpaid, the pants unhemmed.

You don’t have time to get it right.

You just have to keep doing it,

Looking for the light.

    I just finished this thought I had started in June after spending 10 minutes looking at nothing outside, still trying to believe that my mother is dead. Maybe with the new year, I am ready to let something grow from the hollow of loss inside myself. I do hope so.
