Transition
Shipped out from home
As if she were a draftee
Headed not for war,
But, the nursing home–
Sudden and upexpected
Off to the unknown
Dumped her household stuff
As if it were a stranger’s
No pilfering through it
From mementoes to hold on to
Savor…remember–
Home.

transitions are hard, but this one feels sudden and final
It was.
Glad you “heard”it.
