Afterlife

You left in the blink of an eye..
So quickly you slipped away.
A reality we all know and fear...

Poison stain
a trickle of instant given pain
bend forward kiss me
lips tore hang in...

I have parkinsons, as some of you will know, one day when I was really ill, my 9 year old granddaughter...

The fallen leaves
How they scatter
When the wind blows
them through
Like our...

Looms as harbinger unless
Homo sapiens can unite
one non Yiddish speaking
Ongematert...

aimless pathways
thread in slime riding tree
plastic burnt dolls
drift on spiny branch...

Fear
its elastic stretch of beautiful taste
winds the tongue against this drying call...

It was the first Christmas without you..
Your presence I dearly miss..
Though not mentioned...

Alive...
A dead...
That's not...
The end.

Perfectly nestled
in the
secret compartment
Hidden within
My imagination...

Countdown to Death

10 is for When, when will that day come,
The day I go to Heaven to...

I am floating at the very end of your kingsize bed every single night as you toss and turn your weary head...

Never still
this lake rippling in my mind
seeking release
seeking freshness
...

I am floating at the very end of your kingsize bed every single night as you toss and turn your weary head...

Heaven has welcomed another angel this year
Each frozen raindrop represents a tear
...

Yes to heaven she said
as we crushed into a field bled
trailing tiny white flowers
...

Wake up in your dreaming
move upon the floor
make room for the splinters and me
...
