Omer 28 - Vibrato
malchut of netzach
In tracheal collapse, the preview of the life beyond
tugs at the peripheries of the fear
and counterbalancing calm.
But it’s not yet time.
In larynxial failure, the past and its failed futures
suffocates in its pressured proximity.
But it’s as time goes.
Still, I breathe
— tired, uncertain, rattling.
Still, I speak
— brittle, thin, rasping.
So hold me close,
as collagen and cartilage break down,
as soundwave and heartbeat
skip and fail;
hold me close
as it all falls down.

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.
