K. G. M.



His tide went out

with the rising of the Hunter's moon

in all its fullness and hunger,

that early July morn


For days and weeks

his body ebbed away, bit by bit 

until his gaunt frame

sighed its final exhale


The sound of that breath,

though faint, much the same

as YHWH's very name—

a final note of coming hope

    1. Aww... Love you, too, Mum <3

      Sometimes fewer words are better, but I wanted to write something to mark the day. Uncle Ken touched so many and made his part of the world a much better place.
