Death asked me to join him for dinner
so I slipped into my favorite black dress
that I had been saving for a special occasion
and let him walk me to our candlelit tryst.
He ordered a ribeye, extra rare
I ordered two desserts and red wine
and then I sipped
and wondered
why he looked so familiar
and smelled like earth and memory.
He felt like a place both faraway
and deep within my body
A place that whispers to me
on the crisp autumn breeze
along the liminal edges of dusk and dawn
somewhere between dancing
and stillness.
He looked at me
with the endless night sky in his eyes
and asked
‘Did you live your life, my love?’
As I swirled my wine in its glass
I wondered If I understood the thread I wove into the greater fabric
If I loved in a way that was deep and freeing
If I let pain and grief carve me into something more grateful
If I made enough space to be in awe that flowers exist
and take the time to watch the honeybees
drink their sweet nectar
I wondered what the riddles of regret and longing
had taught me
and if I realized just how
beautiful and insignificant and monstrous and small we are
for the brief moment that we are here
before we all melt back down
into ancestors of the land.
Death watched me lick buttercream from my fingers
As he leaned in close and said
‘My darling, it’s time.’
So I slipped my hand into his
as he slowly walked me home.
I took a deep breath as he leaned in close
for the long kiss goodnight
and I felt a soft laugh leave my lips
as his mouth met mine
because I never could resist a man
with the lust for my soul in his eyes
and a kiss that makes my heart stop.
I feel my mom in this poem with every word ..I will be forever thankful that I got to share it with her ❤️❤️
Kim xoxo

During the last few weeks while remembering so many wonderful (and not so wonderful) moments with my Mom, I feel so blessed that I was given the gift of friendship with my Mom and I am doubly blessed to have this same gift with my own daughter Kait, whom I love, respect and adore so very much!
I called Mom almost every night while she was in Fairmount and tried to visit as often as I could so we enjoyed many laughs, tears and everything in between. We talked about nothing and everything. I met her numerous friends at Fairmount such as Cheryl, Dave and the ice cream couple lol (sorry cannot remember your names) who always asked me if Mom was keeping out of trouble to which I always replied No. She had so many friends there it was amazing to see her emerge again into her social, vibrant self. I miss her laugh, smile and her Queen Sheba attitude and her smirk when she thought she got one by me lol
My head keeps thinking of the words "the most interesting woman in the world" when I think about my Mom (there was a commercial the most interesting man in the world) as she always kept us on our toes and had such an incredible life, which I continue to learn about through the stores from others that knew her. Always loved and in our hearts!!
