On a cold, rainy November
night James Michael died
as I cradled him in
my new mother's arms
we were so young and
now in the silent space of
a heartbeat
I am so old
and my new mother's
arms are empty.
The chill panes are misted
with my breath
indifferent raindrops
splatter turgid trickling
half-moon rivers
I do not see
their source I
cannot know their end.
James Michael has rested
on his seventh day of creation.
please
make
it
stop
raining
A song of lament about the death of a young boy.
