His ever helpful wife will, willingly,

with her loving fingers and kiss

mix the off-label bi-product effect

of sildenafil

with her love for her elderly-ing husband of 77,

with her hints of heaven

now and then and….again…

enhancing that one, best memory of bliss

which his soul, later,

in its next to its last moment on earth,

will remember to remember to hold on to

while it exhales, blowing away in its last breath

all other memories:

moments cherished;

or anger;

or regret….

and hold on to that last inhale

like one who has struggled to the top

of a Lake Michigan Dune

and for the rest of his rest through eternity,

will sit beneath the shade of a sand wave,

scanning that inland-sea and its coast in all of its beauty,

holding to the recurring remembering of those love-moments

like hints of heavens to come.
