“Let’s not sugarcoat:
It was always about death.”
Friend’s words knife through me.

High-def blue planet.
Mother, home, so far away,
Bring me near to you.
Silhouette standing.
Angels know she’s beautiful,
Asking for support.
Turning back to him.
He says it’s simply a prayer.
Winter white flower.
Removing the stone,
Walking steady with love now
Into 2012.
My dreams of drowning:
Clutching, falling, so afraid.
I breathe — rise above.
Cinnamon oven,
Electric window candle.
Walking back in time.
Homemade tree stand, free;
Infant looked to my eyes, smiled –
Christmas joys abound!
All of a sudden
The road turns just out of sight.
Beautiful journey.
Plants watered again
Green and lush and firm and strong
Returning to life
