A Single Stride
For S.H. who died on Saturday
She took a long time to go.
Perhaps she stayed
just to hold him
another moment more.
When she left she took his heart.
For thirty years
he lived with that emptiness
the best a person could.
But when it was time
for him to go
he simply closed his eyes
and with a single stride
was in her arms.
