Cracked mosaic pavements
Slow rolling tears...
I told them if I lose him too, I will die
Because these are the threads that bind me whole...
Written for a friend, whose son died in labor...
Never Said Good-Bye
Hi Daddy...
Silver shadows walking beside me
Ghostly whispers in the air...
I had to loosen the the knot you left
The last time you wore my sweatpants...
Dark and dismal,
We wait in line...
*Authors note: like a pendulum, this poem should...
from the twelfth strike to the first and then back...
For every tiny footstep,
That you never got to take...
Your blue eyes stick in the back of my mind;
and your smile bounces around my head...
There wiz a maid wae auburn hair
an' oh sae fair o' face...
I've altered my life
in exchange for burdens...
