Center of Universe

Rochelle Lynn Holt

Big, creaking house is empty without you
like crib, useless, without a baby.
Cats follow memory to guest room.

I see your made bed without potty.
lift & wheelchair are gone in tomb
that echoes somber colors: gray, deep blue.

I should learn how to weave with loom
as you crocheted afghans to stave off rue.
Where did you find time and energy?

Artist, mother, wife, worker, you paid dues!
In our house, you were bang and boom,
center of universe, the family.

We never thought the day would come
when old age would frame your destiny
or ours as we wander without a clue.

Now, we treasure every homily,
even cuffed white socks in Buster Brown shoes.
Thus, I cherish moments with you.

This empty house is an owl without whooo
like crib is useless without baby.
Cats follow memory to the guest room.
