From our constant and increasing
concerns about health, you can tell how
seriously diseased we are. (Wendell Berry)
Serena visits from her one room cabin
off Drummonds Fork Road, brings elderberry
syrup for those vague ailments that pester.
I could be sitting on the veranda
writing and in the din of mocking-verbs
not hear her pass behind. If a tincture
hasn’t worked, she asks: Do you need a hug?
Two wood thrush, thrusting through the umbrella
magnolia, let her know it’s time for school
– a course she teaches in healing arts.
Before she goes she lists all of my bugs,
explains the exact limits of my life,
closes my palm to a fist, blows lightly,
says: I’ll love you as long as I have you
Mr. Jim Lally–this is awesome, touching, so precise that it hurts and lifts me!
I’ll love you as long as I have you. !!!!! Spoken as one who truly knows the limits of this earth.
sweet, touching, acurate…i like it!!!!
Beautiful, Jim. Seriously.
Mocking verbs! This is wonderful and complete. This is the first time I’ve ever thought about Life Insurance without hearing a vault seal inside my mind!
These two stanzas are super in their appeal and that ending is the definition of love.
