abeyance

~~*~~
His shadow falls in the circles
underneath your desiccate eyes.
You await his ethereal visitation.
He awaits your poignant completion
of this harrowing process
unjustly thrust upon you.
Bereavement in abeyance.
He awaits your acquiescence,
of both his life and his death,
you grievously await “goodbye.”
~~*~~
To L, with love.
