Last Breaths Poem by delilah contrapunctal.... yes, that's how I intended to spell it.........

of all the departures from the coil,
those in which I had involvement...
as in being part of a simultaneous living time...
of shared love...
all
that
that may involve
or not involve.....
I heard only my father's final aspiration....
it seemed we waited for it
and he did not disappoint, he fed his girls until he no longer could/he was loved
he danced with joy

you...you ran to the woods to expire/I had no chance to hold you/you were loved/dear red bounding laughing one you were freedom itself

you waited for me/I was late and
you were cold when I arrived/I had no chance to hold you/you were so loved so loved so loved/my wild and lovely guide you still have my heart and my soul if I ever had one of those

you took off your tuxedo in silence/I had no chance to hold you/you were loved/you, so quiet and patient so strong...
so ever there

you I found face down in the creek...did you try to drink? /I had no chance to hold you...you were loved..also well loved by someone beautiful
many-colored survivor of times and places

you slipped away when I was gone
I still don't know why/you were loved/you were loved by two young ones/well loved in your too short life/well loved /hambone seeker
so alert so noble....so....gone......I wanted more memories of you/with you.....
