A November Ode

       A November Ode

One day, you will leave
(or I will)
and we will grieve
then love again–
we both know how.

Time nudges us forward,
whether or not we care,
into a-moon-apart
at least until stars realign.

But today is sunny
and we are warm,
and it’s enough.

  2. This one still has me in tears. I wrote something similar about a furred friend many years ago...I'll try to remember to share it next time we see one another...
