savoring



the days and the losses are moving with unstoppable speed. we lay on her bed eating cherries, swirling the succulent flesh against our tongues, eyes closed; savoring.

today, we will lay on her bed again. i will rise. she will not.

i will sweep the cherry pits to the floor. the fruit of this life is all that matters.

    I spent yesterday and today eating luscious organic radiant red cherries from you-know-where and cried spontaneously. Perhaps they were tears for you. I now think so.
