Dreams came to me
Of my mother's dying breath
Given by word of a cold and casual father
Just another day
Begin the observation
Not another word was said
Other than
"Where did it happen?"
And I couldn't pull the pieces together
For not a single tear fell from my eye
Only a distant shift of contact to the floor
So I retreated and walked away
Acting as the observer
It was time for work
And the ocean was beginning to roar
The sky was a mixture of ominous blues and blacks
And I thought of how funny it is that it would happen on such a day
I continued on repairing the deep sea vessel like a marine in his battlefield
Stop now and hear. The chain is relentlessly bewildering.
I walked back into the wildly colored room where I heard the news of her sudden demise
And there she was standing, dressed nicely in her usual non-chalant attire with a cigarette in her hand
Without hesitation I lunged myself into her arms and cried like a newborn babe seeing life for the first time
"I'm okay"
She gently whispered
Then I awoke
And again played my role as the observer
