Pivot Point

Nancy Diamante Bonazzoli

You just know when you have had
one of those experiences that
within a fleeting instant
instantly and irrevocably
has changed your life forever.

Out of the blue
or seemingly
you catch a glimpse
then gasp
and watch
as it processes
elbows linked with the father's
to the waiting arms
of your altar

and before you know it
before you even understand
you've lifted the veil
and married grief
for better or worse
forever.

It is these things
upon which a heart pivots.

Today while walking
I watched sand
turn into dust and fly.
After a time it was gone.

If even a mountain
does not last
crushed down
with each step
of your sole,
how did I ever believe
that this would?
