As She Moves Away
You roll your eyes to shake off the tears looming large. You sideline memories for another hour for you need time to gather the scattered skies You touch her again and again run your fingers urgently over the wrinkles, cheeks, and her hair like a child, lost to memorize the warmth of love, just faded away. You try to cross your fingers over hers The grip-less slip, You realize, the careless abandon of your life to be.
