Aimee smiles
through this portal
this computer screen
in this present moment
laughing joyful laughs
the laughs of an
unabashed fangirl
writing poems to the
platform shoes of
David Ryan Adams
and she smiles through
e-mails filled with joyful
moments as she discusses
nursing
Werepom
Ryan Adams lyrics
family
and catharsis found through writing
and when I read of her
doldrums
I wished that I could take the sun
to her
to brighten her day
for I feel as if I offered her
far less light
than she so selflessly provided
and now
in our present moments
Aimee
lives through us
and when we write poems
especially about platform shoes
and when we reblog
posts that remind us of
foolishgirrl
foolishgirrl2
or izaluckycat
when we think of her
when we think of
Aimee
in those moments
we consciously interconnect
and we live
we being Aimee and you and
all others touched by her
kindness
when we look at the sun
we know that Aimee
now writes poems
and sings songs
in a place
without darkness
where daylight kisses everything
*poem written by Jo Sonofjo Wolstenholme
for my friend and fellow poet
Aimee*
