All We Want is Love

“You bring me light,” says Bobbi
as I guide a forkful of shredded egg
sandwich to her lips; there is

a familiar focus in her eyes and a
clarity to her words, but neither lasts
more than a wink; I do not want to

watch my mother dying today, but
we do not get to cherry pick when life
needs or does not need us most.
