This is quietly heartbreaking and beautifully observed—love and life in parallel lines.

Such good writing Peter. So often, couples won’t acknowledge the other until one day there’s one less partner to walk through life with. Death hits hard and the regret of not sharing openly the feelings that still linger underneath.
Your poem narrates characters in a story of their lives. They live through your words. This is so well done.

Thank you Thomas and Tim for your thoughtful and kind remarks.
I share most of my writing with anyone other than my wife.I wonder how much great poets of the past shared works with their partners.🙏

This is sad and the description of how things even though you are doing what you must day to day you forget that the partner must be taking care of just like everyone and everything else

This is probably the way it is for most older couples. Yet always at least parallel, not veering away. Close enough for a hand to hold, to acknowledge the other. I envy that, to have someday. Just to know I am not ever really alone. As bittersweet as it can seem, it is also a reward unto itself. That commitment to stay so near, even if it seems a bit far at times. Hearts have a way…
Wonderful write. Poignant and pin-point.

Thank you Damian.
It’s an impressionable memory that still seems vivid in my mind from time to time. Either way, I’m glad to be here and share with others.

This had my heart pounding for you. That is something I would never want for anyone to experience in their lives. It does happen though.

Hi Fia,
It all happened so fast and yet the memory of it is still fresh in my mind after so many years. Now that I read books and stories I’m baffled at how bad (or worse) it was for others. There is a movie coming out later this year about one of these massacres. I wrote a piece about it while at DU but I know the movie will tell the heartbreaking story in detail.

Sometimes I’m a little partial to war and the suffering because of it. The futility of the common soldier and civilians. it’s never glamorous and never without suffrage. You wrote it well.

Thank you so much Styxian.
The damage it does to people as a society has long lasting consequences. As I was telling Fia in the previous comment, the movie coming out later this year will tell more of the stories. We must always learn our history to see where we’ve been so we see the signs ahead.
Hope you’re doing well.
