Maggie, How I Miss You
Maggie, How I Miss You
(On a Tombstone, Waterloo Village)
space
Embedded in the earth,
a weathered, worn stone
chiseled with these words
“Maggie, How I miss you.”
space
And all is said.
space
Out of the mind’s haze,
a stoop shouldered man
steps to a stop, at the foot
of a fresh mound of shoveled ground.
A young girl follows him.
space
“When is mommy coming home?”
His tears answer, the first rain
to work at weathering those words,
“Maggie, How I miss you.”
space
After the years of our blending,
after our hatchings have been tossed
from the nest to fly however they may,
One of us will be left to say,
space
“How I miss you.”
