Family Visit

Family visit. Biological love is what we first experience Walking as in a trance but everyday life takes the gloss off Children are a nuisance, but they are us and we love them But are helpful when we are old ...And then we discover love I mean true love a day Without her voice even when it is hectoring and it Invites loneliness. But the reason for this that lonely people Think more about death and fear dying alone.... forgetting we All die alone, no one follow us into Hades. She has always been on my side and I have tried to be on her side I have failed a few times, but now that we are old it Is melted snow, the type that lingers on a tree's North facing site in a sunken hollow. If I have said anything I don't want to know suspicion is a wrong emotion. So our love is based common suspicion, Upon not talking about the past and be glad when grand Children visit - if they are yours or not- And when they have gone there is silence while we wait For the man with the scythe to come knocking.
