Empty Nest

The Past

All at Once …

and ‘ya jest feel like

you’re in this storm

and the wind is jest whipping

this way and that away

and there you are

hanging on

by a thread

a spiderweb’s thread

wondering

how the L …

with her golden hair streaming

lit from within

a wonky wink in her eyes

she’ll size ‘ya up quick

and drawl in her trademark tongue

“it’s gonna be ok … whatever it is …

you’re gonna be ok …”

and then make ‘ya laugh

like you haven’t laughed

in who knows when

wow what a gift

the gift of understanding

for her
