disbelief's uncertainty inner rage HE CAN'T BE GONE pacing crucifies my feet my umbrage for the end of song... a prisoner of wakefulness I'd rattle them, if I had chains... I drown in my forsaken test I try to bend these bars of pain. I do not know this ghost of me-- reflected eyes are hateful foe. A puzzled me now misses piece-- I thought we both had miles to go. I took his robe and wrapped my soul I fingered place we found him dead. His sheets still held the smell of him and proof of life--the blood he bled. I laid down on the linen shroud in tortured wonder if he knew-- death had to trick a man this proud-- it stole him as he put on shoes. In his bed I rested head-- his pillows cushioning my pain. That day my dreams remained undreamt-- I simply slept the past again. *for dad* |

Hell, this is way better than lots of the poetry written anywhere on PIP, period.  She said burn ... together. |
