This is the final entry for the April 2019 National Poetry Writing Month Challenge: 30 Poems in 30 Days. This has been so interesting and like any creative endeavor, it makes me want to go make something else. I think I’ll do some painting next…
But for now, for Paul, who filled the world for 27 years and now forever…

My Job Now
It’s said that if a writer loves you
That you will never die
and I’m here to tell you
that it’s true-
A thousand times
Your eyes are seen
Your words are heard
Your wild heart is revealed-
Each reader who stumbles
onto your pages
starts the clock again
on your life as
they discover you-
As if you were still so young
As if you were still here
As if your heart still beat strong and true
It’s my job now
To make them not forget you
And so you come along with me
When I grab my pen and notebook
And
Together
We’ll write the tales you never got to live.
