this world of dew
is yes, a world of dew
and yet…

What might have been
Without the loss
Without the grief
Without those years of life
My nephews
Dying at four years old
Playing in a house
Where no one expected…
Some recovered
Some didn’t and maybe never will
Even with the help of the rosary beads
And the early morning service
haiku mind
108 poems to
cultivate awareness
& open your heart
