He died at 12:50pm.
Air left his body on a long
sigh.
I watched him die
after 7 months of trying
to keep him alive.

My body shook. My eyes
crowded with tears.
The hospice room wailed.

There is an emptiness that
inhabits the air. A deep sadness
hollowing every
thought, word… Action.

I filled out his death certificate when
she couldn’t.
I carried him one last time.
