Moments ago
we laughed so hard that the walls of our cavernous bellies split open
and our shoals of organs were hurled skyward and seaward
and seals leapt from our throats
and chaos spilled from our wine-stained mouths
around the treasure chest of yesterday’s fondness and tomorrow’s memories
In that instant we were children swimming in the coral foam
a universal ocean of turquoise longing and blissful unawareness
our agile limbs flailing and grasping at all that makes us whole
fearless and breathless, we rode the waves of endless possibility
weightless and formless, we were tossed towards a better place

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
