The Last Page of 2020

Judy DeCroce and Antoni Ooto

After a long year and less
I remember how time parsed;
a surprise and shock held for a moment. 

But I’ve left much out, being careless,
and life filled in, letting go fast. 

If you see, if you don’t…
           sometimes a crack of light
is all there is, and all that isn’t 

on a blank page untethered.
