readying the cushion

10 5 0
                                    

your once warm palms,
now cold to the touch.
my words, a mere ghost
waning
in the back of your mind
tell me, how long can we keep this up?
I need to know when you will leave
for the cushion is ready
but I'll never be prepared
for the fall.
