the doctor gives us hope
Grandma will survive
weekend funeral

afraid of the dark
the demons
are in me

in the casket
lies
who I am

closed casket
her reflection
in the mahogany

alone I wonder
is there a point
to anything

alone in the park
     watching the ducks
          poop

stone cold
his hands
clenching the rope

empty stare
in her eyes
rape victim

BOTTOM half champion

last year's hero
this year's
waterboy

un-motivational speaker
they do laugh about me
behind my back

a gentle breeze
not enough
to cool me off

he loves me
seasons change
     he loves me not

natural ability

B+

wounded bird
like people he only
dreams to fly

the car steams
the deer lies dead
on the road

digging a hole
to place
leftovers from lunch
