New home

Sunlight pours itself onto grass
our home is cool in the shadows
in the awning birds circle and pass
the sky is blue on the windows

boxes in lines along the floor
down the hall all the way to the door
upstairs I have to unpack my things
I must put everything in drawers

but where are you, send me a text
a sign that you are well
just one message, I am not stressed
just how are you? I cannot tell.

Don't complicate things

Don't come near me today
I am not defined by you
I have my colourful surroundings
and the little things I have to do

Today I am ageless
for me, you do not exist
those that are with me see
I am quiet and smiling

My life is ending
yours will too
we are both better off
doing what we must do
