Day 30
“And all your deeds and words, each truth, each lie, die in unjudging love.”Dylan Thomas
Deaths
Words
I have sought to
convey pass only as shadows,
Beloved, across your sleeping face
in patterns of fern, feather, constellations
of life’s common comorbidities, griefs, graves:
history of these last weeks penned in poetic obituaries
carved on tombstones while angels keep company
with princes of the underworld, salting tears.
The last thing I will say before death
or dawn claims both our lives:
Mercy is an act of
Love.
