Love has carried us
up mountains and through valleys
to a sea of calm.
Love has carried us
up mountains and through valleys
to a sea of calm.
Standing on one leg
he inspects his growing beard
signs of his manhood.
Climbing down two steps
from house to garage to car
Boston marathon.
Recurring nightmares
of injury and falling
more real than the real.

Pain at 5am,
Pain meds block reality,
It lies underneath.
Sounds of family
Voices, laughter, baby’s cries,
Call us back to health.
Hands moving in space,
Picking nothing from the air,
Flinging stars and light.

Al, in dreams while on meds, is either have nightmares or conversations. For awhile, every time he was asleep, he would lift his arms and be moving them back and forth, his fingers twitching. I once asked him, “What are you doing?” He said, “Flinging stars and light back into the sky.”
Dreaming of running
My husband tries to sleep walk
With foot in a cast.

It’s the highs and lows
of a roller coaster ride
that will make you sick.
