sixty
skyburst my mom will be sixty in december

i remember when she was in a coma

i prayed for god to keep her alive

i prayed
"please god let her live to be sixty"

i never stopped praying that

after she woke_up, as years went by
i increased the request

"please great spirit
let her live to be 100"

i'm still praying that

i'm haunted by
the words of her neurosurgeon

he said that if this shunt gets infected, then next time they'll have to go through her heart, a risky operation

she's already been through so much
her body is in constant stress


every day i see the pain she is in
and i feel it from my distance

i know we all have to say goodbye at some point, i'm just afraid of that

i've always been afraid of losing her

i want her to live to be one hundred

i'm going to make her a cake
for her sixtieth birthday

i want to be there for her hundredth
