intense nights....

wow was it intense all the way around last nite.

i saw my guy after a week and a half of missing him.
incredibly fabulous to see him! so much good heaped
up between us.

then, just before we were gettin' ready to say goodbye,
i went down to my answering machine.

bam.
the world stood still.

'she has two kinds of cancer. both rare. chemo starts
in ten days.'

i looked at his face.
he looked at mine.

and then i held on tight.

i'm headin' out for a walk........
tryin' to sort thru it all.....

his love, my love, the shortness of it all,
all the complications mixed in between, her life,
her health, loss, living, gratitude, fear.....

may just throw it all up in a big ol' ball and
let it land where it may.......
