Living with AFib II
The one remaining sun-splattered leafed tree
rushes towards me waving, “Open the window,
feel the fresh, late November air lift you up,
winnow through your hair, wash your face
with the next sweep of wind, wash it with a scent
of the sea which will lift away your troubled breaths
and fling them across the boundless sky."
