Show and Tell

Covid decimates the body

Love decimates the heart

So, they are allied.

Covid shows

People can never be vaccum;

Love shows

The heart is indefatigable.

They both prove to you

The strength you actually have

Surpassing that of your own hope.

I couldn’t dress you,

The way you wanted to shine.

I couldn’t touch you,

I couldn’t do your hair up fine.

We spoke of death and love,

Before you were taken away,

I really did all I could;

But oxygen blew you away.

You were my only Father!

Of all in the family, beloved you!

You’re left now, with all the rest,

My home, my childhood, my truth.

Dreams terrify me!

You enter with different names

And my mind uses them

To play terrible games.

I’m tired; because i’m hounded

By the hours of sleep I get.

(And trust my heart:

It just really wants to forget.)

Weary, worn out and wasted,

Tears have long since dried;

But the emptiness alone,

Reminds me I haven’t yet died.
