~moonless
it will happen
again
four days from
now it will happen
in the dark like january shivers
or sweat soaked
august sheets it always happens
in the dark
when the moon
disappears it always happens
in silence as I rock myself
awake as I smooth out
memory's quilt over
my lap count each piece
of patchwork remember each day
I carried you beneath my heart
inside my heart before I became
the unbearable living & you became the light it will happen
again
in four days as I brush away
the never-was
the never-will-be the petals & snow
brush dirt from your
stone pillows & fill the emptiest
part of me with trembles
of winter & the sad notes

Rest in Peace Jason & JonThomas
Mommy loves you...
