Last breath

Last breath
(my daughter)

On that
Long breath-
On that
Longed moment,
On that last fast
Neuron
Firing across

Us,

(We)

Who from that first burst
Of me,
Of you
That came to know us.
forever fused
Together,

We became.

In that bubble none could burst-
We survived

In that world just us

We loved.
We lived.
Our together lives.

And then our apartness.
Stretched out
We held on
Hand to hand.

On that last long breath
Syllables and vowells rest.
As the darkness gathers
This last breath
Lingers
Circles us

and

We

Two

are

Us
