Last Ash

It was hard to watch you crumble
Sloped back in your posture
The hail touched down the house rumbled
I thought the world was falling
I knew you were dying
I watched you trying and hard to watch all of us crying
The lines in the sand the wrinkles in your hand always bigger then most I think the difference is appalling the deterioration is multiplying. You told me you couldn't live like this being needed with hands with fists with every ounce of molecules presents in abolishment family and friends never met but words being expressed
Love was at an intersection
All facets of your life represented
All moments rejoiced as common pleasures I think it feels easy because your touch is all around us all the birds all the stars all the natural habitats you've enriched the teachers the students coworkers all saw you as a movement you lived the life you lived because you saw the difference in our kids and the impact in our decisions I hope the overgrowth keeps spreading and the weather accumulates so we can all hold are hands together
We feel safe surrounded by all your keep sakes around all your sketches pondered by all the letters all the books overwhelmed by the fact that we all have a lot to live up to 
I still feel like I'm riding on your back
