silent warrior (writing prompt)

saw an owl yesterday an owl symbolizes wisdom reminding me of you the silent warrior needle every day at 12 half in flesh eyes see truth always looking through mirrors human bodies easy to recognize I realize it before the suicidal thoughts hit knowing your suffering

your blood pure like a child but sickness flows through your veins and he didn’t care he took your body and pinned it to the ground we grieve like you were gone but you were only miles away we talk about things like could you imagine if the oven exploded that day no rental insurance

I take every sign serious like the man walking in the rain with a bible a few months after as a sign to get closer to God or the homeless man and a voice whispering to sew into him it’s all you..womb to woman …woman to womb wine to water sober to uncover all the flaws

And every state be life every state be love every moment reminding me of you the love I have for you the silent warrior suffering in all that chaos them babies don’t love you enough they be grown now and don’t protect you enough said “we are what happens to us” well that don’t be true now we fight it we fight it like you fight cancer like you fight diabetes like you fight the demons you’ve been fighting owls symbolize wisdom cheeks so crisp wrinkles proof of life the cough in between your laughs age has done the work such impeccable work
