Stuck in Place
for 18
y e a r s
i wrapped
my identity
up
into a being
who inevitably
left
and for 6 months
now
i’ve been trying to
figure out
how to unstick
from being stuck
i lie in bed at night
thinking
and wake up
thinking
and the other morning
my thoughts were
all over the place
mostly thinking about my dad
and those 6 months we had
September to February
and then as i lie there thinking
about that
it dawns on me
that that’s exactly the time-frame
she’s been gone
September to February
and now it’s 5 days
into March
