Jul 2014
from
your   cage of fleshly endeavors  
closed so many doors
in my face
our future  dissolved
into nothingness  
soggy eyes  blinded my
emergency exit
this heart shattered
buckling knees
could barely move
my leaden feet
managed to find
a precariously placed
cement gray
stepping stone
promising  only
  unfathomable desolation
into unknown destinations
   unsolved  mysteries  
editing  personal histories
who what  why
riddle psyche and soul  
onto  a continuous
loop
July 14,  2002  - now almost  12 years ago, is the day   that lives in infamy in my  and my families life.My husband of nearly 20 years  was murdered in his office. Assailant and reason still unknown .Not a robbery. While my emotions  are not as raw as in the early days & months  the heartbreak   of those first hours  and weeks still   resounds in me . Unless I get  a memory loss disease  ,will stay with me  until my last day  in this earthly shell.Tom , you are not forgotten.That is an ending  none of us ever fathomed for you .
