breaths, beating hearts
claims of life vent from
mending calcium and
sutured leather
bodies are left
momentarily
to pursue refuge from
future weather
time ticks apart
those biding loved ones
with tried halations and
tortured feather
yet through it all,
no shiny blade dares
severing the ceaseless
nurture tether
they pray, nurse, sigh
they heal, sometimes die
and beyond it, they are
still together
