I wrote this for my Mom and Grandmother after my Grandma died. Ever's middle name is in honor of my Grandmother.

***

All grips come loose.
All waves let to water. All that is whole falls apart.
All that was Mother, Is daughter.

On your skin, my skin.
(In your breath, my own.)
With your tears, my tears. (In your heart, my home.)
All connections disconnect.

All planets turn to dust.
All that is now becomes the past
All we love; We love so fast.
