2.5 years

i have felt too sick to write
but that doesn’t mean i haven’t thought about it

it’s strange that i have, though,
i don’t think about it for my living children

is a half a year really that big a milestone?
i guess it depends on who you ask

either way, i went to bed last night
realizing it’s been 2 and a half years since she died
since she came into the world
only to be put back into its ground.

it could have happened yesterday,
the way my body remembers it

and to tell the truth,
no matter how much time goes by,
i dont think that will ever change.
