A first always means a last**

They need 24 hour care so I'm typing this as I watch over them on their morning snooze. My wife has snook out for a well deserved swim to clear her head. When they leave here it's to a nursing home and the end of an era for them.

a different red
and knew death
is what breaks
so many men
because it can't be fixed
or talked away.

So I won’t be brave,
for a victory
but for the smell of a rose
