hearing your voice
in the home movie
warm memories

alive in her dream
ghost father's big hands
rocking the baby

wondering where
I'll see you again—
the leaves fall

deep in my heart
I know you live amongst the clouds
until we meet again

bottom quarter champion

I shake their hands
and they give me a hug
who are you?

this suit itches
the pillow isn't fluffy
eternal rest

falling tears
and a black veil
   —St. Peter opens the gates

although it hurts,
I'm glad you've found your peace;
release the doves

BOTTOM half champion

her side of the bed
always cold
now vacant

her picture
still sits on the stand
never forgotten

I wash the dishes
and you come flooding
into my mind. sobs.

the harsh winds
remind me of my emptiness
"abortion clinic, next right"

top quarter champion

BOTTOM half champion

bottom quarter champion

the autumn oak
burns away
its summer foliage

pine tree curls
and blackens
among the inferno

all or nothing
a heartbreaking
ultimatum

final breath
"I'm sorry"
