Kathy, … my watch came today …
and my socks and shirt.

Outside on the grass I opened the package
to get my watch
but what I found there
were my memories and feelings;
your face…eyes…essence…
as warm as the sun on my skin

That you’re leaving my life, again,
and going out to try once more
to make sense of yours thru security
and commitment…

I can’t debate it … nor would I try,
my friend.

But I can, … I can see your eyes, here.
And remember the hours we’ve spent together
and I can mourn the loss of what you gave me
my sweet sister, lover and friend
God’s speed.
