She; is released

 

I sat

 

A window open for heartbreak

Through the cracks

 

I saw deer etched into the wood.  Eyes that looked back; told me all would be alright

 

Looked up to the sky, high, saw an avocado pear.  Was reminded of that book

 

The Avocado baby book

 

Strength hits us in many ways

In One way I couldn’t cope

 

Strength brings us down to our knees when we are armed with grief

 

Gave up, give up

 

There was no more I could handle

Only peace

 

Laid it all bare under the night sky; the skin

tinted by the moon
