Cascading spa-colored fabric
That ruffles down, extenuating their figures
lightly brushing against the
Silver strapped heels
*
An argument about a morphine drip
That soothes pain and yet,
Simultaneously, steals away what
Precious little time remains
*
Teardrop necklaces that rest
Perfectly between the collar bones
Kissing their skin right above
V-shaped necklines
*
Caregivers that do their best to
Give care where they can and warning
Where they cannot, whispering,
“Prepare yourself for the end.”
*
The family and friends who murmur
“Congratulations on your Engagement”
and “Our Condolences” on your grandfather’s health
In the same sentence.
*
A man that loves me with all his heart
And a man who showed me what love is
*
The best
and
The worst
Memories occurring
Side by side.
*
