a piece of my heart exists outside of my body
such a precious thing
out in the world, free willconnected to me by a cord
a cord that no longer physically links us
no longer tethers us together
but nevertheless I still feel it there
pulling me to him
like a phantom limb
it's there,
i can feel itan extension of not only my body
but my heart
and of my soulmy son,
once a part of me
always a part of me
