an ode to my toenail

many weeks he has walked with me
detached and damaged
held in place with plaster
his roots no longer able

more dead everyday
my body has been saying goodbye
the bed has been made for another
the replacement is young but he's alive

he served me well
but when the going got tough he failed
blue to yellow to gone
he's no longer attached

and neither am i
