Sometimes Winter is a cold message, a letter that chills the heart. That the message comes in Winter makes it all the more cold.
Phonecall - Beloved at ER.
Going home to hospice care.
Pain management now.
State of mind unknown.
Not set, not ready to go
No talking about.
Son in denial
Acting normal as can be
Father is stoic
Mother soldiers on
Wife pure, attention focused
Solely on Beloved.
Departure midmorn
It is cold. The ice is black.
Overnight in Medford
Chains may be needed
The coast the preferred route
For unkind winter.
