I just experienced a wonderful vacation with the person I love. While I enjoy coming home to what is the “normal” I’ve lived since 2010, there is always a sadness associated with the 24/7 togetherness to the limit of the time when we are together.


Morning

Vacation is now over,
a return to the normal,
the waiting to reunite
but never truly united
in lives predestined
to end in mourning,
a call to come,
perhaps, a call of
no use to come —
the end.
