Untitled




Finding me, the amnesiac,
at the graveside
is not common.

Today,
nostalgia is the succor-
of fun, of laughter, of joy,
of a place that I called my own.

The resident ghost,
invisible,
has a burden
in his own paradise.

Am I a friend
or an enemy?

He stares through the concrete
with chagrin.
Why does he have to come?”

Hope


Some call it,
light at the end of the tunnel.

Rock Garden




I try to understand
the heart of a rock
so mean
so cold
so tough
...
I try to understand
my heart for their gardens
so kind
so warm
so soft
...
I try to calm
the heart of every human
so brittle
so scared
so tired

Do Not Leave


My beg
to you
Almighty,
use whatever power
you have,
do not,
please
do not,
let her go
tonight.
