Footprints in the snow

[Love Child]

Listening to the sound
of snow crunching
beneath my feet
feeling the cold
on my face, my hair, my hands
breathing in
the cold air
watching the flakes falling
one set of footiprints
in the snow
where there used to be two

 

[Love Child]

I wonder what it was like
in his last week
of life
what did he think about
what did he dream about
was he in pain
did he have conversations with his family?
Loved ones? Lawyers? Business partners?
Did he make any final realizations?
Was he at peace? Was he ready to go?
Did he think about death in the last year?

Were you married?

Or was he some sort of significant other?
