First Born
Anointed
blue ribbon shrine
pristine shoes
Daddy toe waltzes
bedroom sanctum
car keys
genetic guilt
default executor
Last shovelful of dirt

Road Not Taken
Sadly, UR taut noose unravels
Death nigh & memories naught
Girded in uncertainty
U shunned exotic paths,
the only journey to happiness

White Light
Do the dying tally hours
or cast moments into days?
Dwell in vicissitudes
or inconsequential dreams?
Can luminosity pierce grave’s finale?

Bequest
Built UR kitsch dream house
No one allowed on gold carpet
kids & pets confined 2 cellar
30yrs later in hospice
alone in shag carpet reverie

Euthanasia #2
For Min —
You didn’t go gently
I sanctified love 4 suffering
and peace 4 pain.
But U were not ready
2 give away UR last most vital life.
& I am not God

Euthanasia #1
For Kayla —
Lock of fur
Spring puppy breath
Comfort of summer ocean foam
Oak’s intense autumnal canvas
Only UR ashes betray
Winter’s harsh fragility

Grim Reaper
Death’s too familiar
He follows like stray cats
leaves nose smudges on windows
traces cracks on walls
howls @ my jokes
while I forget 2 cry

Clairvoyance
End the premonitions
disaster intuitions
doom forebodings
God’s cruel omens
Death’s docket
Grant ignorance of the future
& repress the past
