gone
there is no denying the blank space left in the day to day
material force gone left empty vacancy
we knew it was coming evidence piled leaving no doubt
room for discussion what if
passed
we did all the right things short of moving
back
would it have kept her filled in the space no
one life disposable as it is in the end
to whom do we deliver these black bags of armor
piles of life collected no longer housebound
