She lies quietly, breathing softly under my hands as I glide over her ravaged body.
Her muscles no longer capable of moving her body, I shift and position her carefully. Our eyes meet.

She wondered
If other mothers
Felt the same
When their baby died:
Dull, dark and empty,
As if part of them
Had been torn away,
Buried in another place,
Far off in some foreign ground; . . . more

You're only twelve,
little boy.
What were you thinking?
You wait behind bars
you should never have seen.
Bars so different from the monkey bars
on the playground of your youth.
What were you . . . more

Phone sirens death
Grief crackles and burns
Searing red rimmed eyes
Phone rings
Tortured tongues spread wild fire wails
Screaming her demise
Mother is gone
She died we
Cried
I kissed her china doll head . . . more

A sluggish cavalcade of polished black
Turns white with shock at pedestrian pace
Slowly move forward
Watch for signs of bloodshot wonder

Sometimes she sits and broods
And knows the darkly moods
Will pull her down
And let her drown
In memories unlocked
From dark rooms. Nothing blocked
From the sad days and hours.
All this . . . more

Warm summers
Sitting on the portch swing
Arms crossed
Looking alike
Only memory I can seem to recall
As I sit there
Looking at the stone
That you are now
The only reminder that you where here . . . more

Strange and beautiful,
silent stalker filled with grace;
Death is a whisper;
Time, a dark shadow looming,
reflecting on mirrored glass.

Sinatra singing
From a radio
In the corner of
The room and Donna's
Fat husband, Joey
Singing along with
The voice, making an
Awful sound, like cats
In a sack . . . more

Death has no passion or compassion,
It takes the youngest to the eldest among us,
Having felt its icy grip more times than one,
Freezing the heart with it boney grip,
Look in it's eyes not I,

I resent your getting old,
Death's cold touch seems closer now.
Somehow, when I draw quite near
I smell the fear in my pores,
And those claws, crimson and black,
Seek to draw back through . . . more
