As you died,
February 8, 2015
did you hold your breath?
Did you wait for the moment that meant
you were no longer required to live?
Did you glance around
and see the snow
you always longed for at Christmas?
Did you hear every car,
every onlooker,
every buzz of the crosswalk
telling people to go?
Did you try to reach out
and find the anchor
that must have been knocked
out of your grasp?
Did you want someone to hold you?
Did you think of me?
