Why Does Happiness Never Last?
Why can’t it be summer always?
Why is happiness vague and quickly fades away while sadness always stays?
Winters cruel sharp cold never fails to remind.
The warmth of the sun, pink cheeks and the feeling of happiness, or something like it.
Why can’t it be summer always?
Why can’t the sun's heat warm me up,
Burn me up,
Until I’m in flames and my heart bursts as a bomb would do.
Why do tears never cease to run while smiles are the hardest to find.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
