thin was the veil that covered my heart
I knew my grief was standing beside me
I reasoned that I was okay
relived that my airline ticket was canceled three times
that is when the
undercurrent knew going home would open the damn
Not until I saw my mother's tears
and my brother's sacred ground,
and my dad's Harley in a trailer going with Sacha to Seattle
and my Aunt beautifully lying in bed
and a photo of Julie and me as kids…
did I know that the veil
would wipe the water from my face
