Cell by cell, my piece
of the world, my body My Consciousness My Life
one thing after another
is everything, to me Everything At The Same Time
while routinely
I am who I am Unfolding Bloom Connection
until it no longer works
expectations fail Yours and Mine
due to incapacity, an accident
or pain with a diagnosis Collapsing New Buildings
no future together
not really enough dynamics Bridges Remain Unfinished
no parenting, goodbye
to those thoughts about myself Transition Pass Leap
trying to get out
of the hole in which Sad Scared Persevering
I crawled away
waiting for strength Space A New Balance
going back into the world
looking for safe places Exodus Desert New Land
thinking along with the pain
about what is going on Do What I Can Do
to where it is going
and what can be saved Embracing Myself Again
living to the limit
as life is

You jumped off the bridge,
today your name has surfaced --
in the news items.
Jij sprong van de brug,
Nach dem Brückensprung
en vandaag duikt jouw naam op --
taucht heute dein Name auf --
in nieuwsberichten.
in den Nachrichten.
