Life Interrupted



The abrupt halt of my morning
Came with showers outside
Half the city mourning
Your unannounced, most recent voyage

The calendar on the wall
Mocks me
With no days left
To plan

Forward I travel
Though my soul stays still
Patching together
Our shared history

An unfinished quilt
The underside, messy
My visual prompt
To welcome interruption.
