happy birthday

moving too fast
(not buckled in)
breaking
inhibited: a free falling of something felt
never uttered
for fear language will give way
- fail to encompass -
what seeing and feeling has become
inside a mind so sure
of things unchanging
like roses
and coffee
strong and silent
rich in legacy,
in hearts now breaking.
hoping: for relief, for beginning again
safe and waiting
in florida sun.
