I can still see your
blue face,
swallowed by
an oxygen mask, your
mother’s consciousness
returning like
a weathered ship
finding its way back
to shore,
and my hands shuddering
like a sail at sea,
even now,
as I zip up your sleeper.
A.R. Williams is a poet from Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley (USA). His debut chapbook, Funeral in the Wild, is slated to be released with Kelsay Books in February 2024. He can be found on twitter and instagram @arw_poetry
