The Leaving Poem
I don't want to watch you grow old --
bones frail,
busted lip,
pale nose
another crypt to fill
with your body;
yours.
I don't want to watch you grow old --
legs crumbling,
youth running astray,
me waiting
for that day...
I don't want to watch you grow old --
Let me go first!
I beg,
I toss and turn..
And now,
I am at a loss
for words.
