five short poems to greet and to part
1.

the only reason I don’t hate it
when you’re outward bound,
is that when you come home,
I feel our heartbeats sync,
and I love you again.

2.

finding a stranger who
becomes a friend
is like reaching for a golden ring
and winding up with a star—
as we meet, you shine.

3.

from you, I learned more
about how my stories worked,
about how to trim and polish—
we leave now, for new horizons
and adventures. thank you.
I’m better for your influence.

4.

good morning, Mother.
today you join my blood obsession,
one glucose check each morning,
a new custom. and I know you fear.
I promise I will guide you
stand by you, as you always do me.

5.

when I first knew you, we thought
to cleave unto each other, forever.
but time and distance cleave us apart,
and I fear I’ll never know your voice again.
