Painioned
Pinioned, exquisite
reminded that
somehow
against most odds
I am
still
alive
sustained still
sometime by the
knowing
people I know and
love you
find fulfilment
that joy is
in the world is
but not sufficient
to heal
but a bulwark
agin despite
comfort that yet
adds poignancy
to pain
tonight still
dreaming
of a reality
that will never be
of holding being held
with you
