for grandma;

Jumping at your convulsions,

Finding everything you'd want

and nothing you need.

Collecting myself and falling apart

become interchangeable.

At your weakest, I'm afraid

I wont see you again.

The stoop catches my tears,

and I hear an ambulance

speed through a small town.

Don't you let her go

you slow professionals.

She needs me- but I'm helpless,

and it's only hurting her, help her,

don't comfort me.

Life feels surreal when

you sit and wonder how you'll die.

They help you in, and your eyes open.

I thank the God that I doubt everyday.
