The Poem (With)out you

Lost.

Like the sun with the moon,

And the moon without the stars.


I would be nothing.

Nothin’ nothin’ nothin’

But liquid splatered all over the floor

Not knowing with direction to go

Because you are my bones

That make me human


Without you I wouldn’t be

Be nothing of value for you see

You and I

Make up the earth and the sky

Living in harmony


Yes, sometimes the earth and sky fight in thunderstorms and hurricanes

Like us

And like them

We always end up in rainbows

Happy happy rainbows


For you see

At the end of the day

If I didn’t have you

I wouldn’t know which shoe to put on which foot


The two feet you made me

For walking great lengths together


Golly gee,

This poem was supposed to be

About my life without you


It seems I can’t even fathom a poem

Without writing you into the narrative


It’s time to end this poem.

Let’s go two by two

Into the sun, hand in hand

Ready for the next chapter of our dainty, little lives.


C’mon, it’s time to go now Mum.
