Razor

Sharp words, painful prick

Hissing from previous good —

I am deflated.

Monarch at Rancho San Rafael Park, Reno, Nevada – Sunday, 23 September 2012

After the send-off

Last moments, life fluttering –

Metamorphosis.

Thank You for Telling Me

It must have been hard

Saying it was suicide,

That he hanged himself.

Dark Angels

Sharp word: suicide.

You hanged yourself to escape

Your demons, sweet friend.

To your enriching my life,

To your hugs, your warmth –

Suddenly goodbye.

Fear

Shoulders’ prickly heat;

Empty hand lies on the bed –

No strength to fight pain.

Sunday Morning

Vivaldi’s second

Spring, sadder than the season,

Evokes this soul ache.

Two a.m.

September city sounds,

Crickets, rhythmic thunk of ceiling fan whirring crooked,

Distant dog barking.

 

Encouraging them to bury the words

This conversation is done,

I realize futility.

 

Acid burn.
