Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and Steve Law - The Invitation

Two nights after he died
All night I heard the same
One-line story on repeat
I am the woman whose son
Took his life
The words felt full of self-pity
Filled me with hopelessness, doom
And then a voice came
A woman's voice, just before dawn
And it gave me a new shade of truth
I am the woman who learns
How to love him now that he's gone
It did not change the facts
But it changed everything 
About how I met the facts
Over a hundred days later
I am still learning what it means
To love him—how love is 
An ocean, a wildfire, a crumb
How commitment to love changes me
Changes everyone
Invites us to bring our best
Love is wine, is trampoline
Is an infinite song with a chorus 
In which I am sung
I am the woman who learns
How to love him now that he's gone
May I always be learning how to love
Like a cave. Like a rough-legged hawk
Like a sun
