April Eighth
April Eighth
Twenty twenty four
Solar eclipse szn
__
Coincides
With the one year anniversary
Of Mama’s passing
The one year anniversary
Of the day I became an orphan
The one year anniversary
Of my parents together again
__
In my imagination
They are dancing to
Strangers in the Night
As Papa sings along
While Mama leans into his embrace
The one thing she truly wanted
Those few years without him
__
April Eighth
Twenty twenty four
Feels like new beginnings
Feels like the end of an era of grief
Feels right that Mama and Papa
are together again
Watching over me
Over all of us
From the eclipse of the sun
