or minus you

you can’t see it but he really was a good man
first kind word heard all day
said he’d pray for us and that i loved him
punished us all so we’d feel his loss
had an audience
thought it was tv but this was a new twist
you, who always come back, be here for
a personal triumph



me birthday

drank with james’s son
& now cry
overwhelmed by
loss
love
legacy
memory.

threw out all the old
never to be revisited
life times are piling up
trying to kill what is
trying to kill.

biggest mistake was making a friend
who writes law and order
now it is just contrived.

proven right but by letting
all come out
hurts more.

until today didn’t realize it spelled out

CO-EXIST

not embarrassed because
i was with you and
you said
me too
