Written by Irma Kurti
Seconds, minutes go by,
the wall clock beats like
a threat in this colorless
sunset. Tonight, I stay so
close to your bed as you
are leaving forever, Dad.
You hardly breath, don’t
feel my hugs and kisses.
I listen to the final beats
of your heart or to your
pain and sighs that now
accompany your trip to
the last station. You keep
your eyes tightly closed,
with the desire to sleep,
never waking. But your
story is also mine; surely
you will be forever a part
of me. It is the worst wait
I have ever had in my life.
