today is today,,,, the only day there is

my mom is leaving....for the second time in my life
and                                                                                                            I see there is no where to turn for her, nowhere to turn to fill the gap she will leave once again in my life.

I had just found her, really,
 the past few year with us both living in kamloops.

I know food will not fill that hole, a movie, TV, travel, sex, shopping, being busy, indulging my emotions, dramatising the situation.
  All the fav's just show up pale. no life, no juice.

I am sitting in my bed, I had a bath, did a pedicure/manicure. It is 10 in the morning, on a friday.

this weekend my brother & my niece will come into town to say good.by to her.
  She is dying.
  She is a shell of what she was a month ago.
A shaddow of what she was a year ago.

The grief is solid and yet floating in everything, pervasive. There is no point on which to tether todays identity to.
 So I float with the pure benifit that is always there, always on, the very essence of the situation.

I watch the view
Life goes on

There is absolutely NO point
Wow
