poem: leigh QM
abandoning the future
Focusing on the minutes meant hours of stories lost.
Getting through the days forestalled the weeks of grief that came.
Recovering from the months of care won't make up for the years of conversations forfeited.
about the writer: leigh QM
Leigh, who meanders through life, flowing strong at times, but petering to a trickle at others. Leigh, a uniquely individual global community member, who always says yes to a glass of wine.
