FROM THERE TO HERE
So will this be I wonder
the way I change form
leaving my body the paddle-shockinly-electrifyingly-Impossible-task of responding
with a next heart beat that isn’t coming?
Through the gray-green mass of an ER playing field of life-and-death athletes
The Silent Power blankets my noisey spirit
“Don’t worry, honey”
said Dad from the ‘nother places
“The time is not now
When changing time comes
All you need do is
step
from there
to here
I will be waiting for you.”
I’m still here
He’s still there
awaiting my one step.
