my son
announced
he was
moving out

every sound
he exhaled
from that moment forward
became white noise
that suspended
over the living room
like lethal gas

billows of
white smoked agony
engulfed me
inflating the tiny air sacs
in my blanched lungs

all color
leached
from my skin
shading it ashen
white

my fingers and toes
felt artic
as if frostbitten
by an avalanche
of pounding white
snow

the wintry cold
spread
to my limbs and torso
like milk white
anesthia

I went numb
like a baby seal
bludgeoned
on the frozen
Tundra

wondering how something so good slipped to the bottom
I loved this

I will not bend to the cowardice of a silent judgement.
