The skull amongst the trees
How could you leave?
The wind brings the sound of coyotes
and later,
you find the vertebrae in the deep brush.
There is a softer side to you;
It's like leaning back fully into a chair
and feeling the weight press back,
just enough
so you know that it's there.
Later, I will wonder how you survive.
I learn about how you are living
and I am suddenly pinned to my kitchen floor.
Undo the balustrade and forgo support.
As we trudge through the snow,
I wonder.
Who will be our spine,
if you go?
