breathe gasp choke
he holds me
and kisses
the top of my head.
they love me
my dear sweet loves
and I love them too.
But that has
echoes of someone else's
past
and I am not
the someone else
coming up on
78 years
or maybe 49 years
or maybe 3 years
who's counting?
they surround me
loving me like
they had not loved before,
and we are one
and united under God,
although not a country.
Every day is new.
In the meantime
breathe gasp choke
the connections with their hooks
dig in tighter all the time
and more painfully too
they can't take me away from you
darlings
but they will try.
