Loss

It is done.

The chapter finished.

No,

the book.

She journaled

as long as I can remember.

I always thought

it was strange

how impossible

her handwriting was

despite daily practice.

I don’t think she knew

I wrote too.

Though I know

my handwriting

is impossible

so I do this

instead.

What’s left to say

of a life

complete?

Our last words,

“I love, love, love you,”

she said.

“I love you too, grandma, so much.”

As I walked to the hallway

knowing

it would be the last.

What’s left to say

of a life

complete?
