Anticipatory Grief
His departure hallowed her
two years before it happened
making his favorite fried food
the potatoes giving off earth
the oil sealing in salt
she panic to realize it would end
if he wasn't her daily care
where would that leave her?
In order to stave off the horror
she got that Masters degree
volunteered her interests
and hoped next time he would visit
more than twice a semester.
