the period of shock
is mercilessly brief
the breathless, bloodstained
bafflement
before the heaviness of loss
before the cleaning up
and putting away
and sorting of things
the finding of pictures
and toys
and birthday cards
the loss
of hope.

About Me
- Heather Tinnaro
- Asheville, North Carolina, United States
- It will be a few years until I can step back on board with an eye to staying a while. At the moment, I still live in the mountains of North Carolina, in a small house with a piano in the parlor and a teenager in the good bedroom. But it is time to start dreaming. The nest is preparing to empty, and when it does, I should be ready to fly. Or float.
