I am being greedy with the time that you have left.

I know I know I say ‘once more’ As if I didn’t say that last time And the time before And the time before And the time before

But I will take each ‘last time’ until you open that door.

I’ll take each ‘last time’ right til there is a call that says I’ll have no more.

I will treasure the name I changed because that one is the name you say When I turn into a thief and steal my last goodbye.

Your eyes turn more distant everyday they’re open less and less

(maybe that’s a good thing?)

when those eyes open I can see the wariness of the years you’ve traversed

(were your eyes always so pale?)

A lifetime of stories I always meant to ask

A lifetime of lives you’re the only one who knew

A lifetime I can’t even say was gone too soon.

I was not greedy enough.

When Mourning Comes

Though it may be I know you not,

neither your face,

nor your voice,

nor your name.

Let it be that to each other, our souls now be known.

For the air you have breathed is shared with the world

and our steps are taken on one earth

and no matter who feeds the ocean with their sorrow

the taste of salt remains.

Let it be that I call you Sister and you call me Brother for no matter our curses

we are gifted each other.

I need not know need not meet

need not see need not hold need not greet.

I need not know even if these words will touch your ear to know your loss is mine.

So in your grief I shall share.

None may replace but I will stand by your side till on your own

you are ready

and rise
