Farewell
What if this will be our Last Supper?
The way we make each other feel
after all is said and served will be our echo.
No amount of watching horror movies
over and over in our mind, withdrawing,
or denial can prepare us for a moment like this.
Bumble bees seem to know the way
by the sweet fragrance of being lost in love
to the last filament of nectar in a Rosa Ragusa.
One conscious breath, then another, trusting
in love and life, we are always together,
even after a dream comes to an end.
