But I'm not ready yet


Why does everyone say six months?
She pushes back her untrimmed hair.

He’s not that bad and it’s still manageable.

I’m not ready for him to go.
She cups her face.

I know why you’re not ready,
and I know why they say six months,
and you need to be ready.

But I’m not ready yet.
Pause.

I need to get ready,
don’t I?
