I'm looking for my husband. He has disappeared into some place inside his mind, like a sea creature slides into a coral bed.
Quick now, here he is for a moment or an hour. Like a Robin bobs in the yard, he is beautiful in his song before he vanishes into the sky, flying above or around me.
Are his pieces forever gone? Will I find a kiss behind my chair meant for me alone? Will my sorrow erase the years of love?
I will be brave today. Tomorrow I will be the coral he needs. A small animal in a very large and strange ocean. .
