For my Mother

 
“we die for each other” she said

yes, I answered, it’s so true

over and over and over

my thoughts on this 

swirled to a silent music
from some real place inside

a comfort place

where reminders live

that it really is all about love
and forgiveness

and lord knows she and I have had plenty

of ways to practice this

plenty of ways to fail at this

 
I have been too mixed up 

to hear that music much
My regret moves as heart pains

Her regret stirs as growing cancer

There is little to calm the grief

only surrender, only service

But the music is getting louder
And I do think we are both finally succeeding

At life

By dying for each other
