Dear Jon


The father waits beyond his mind
Afraid of what his gaze may find
The nurse prefers to be kind
and Opens the blind.
A terrifying lance of light!
May God protect me from this sight.
But God is kind
Or I am blind
Can't See a damn thing
With no One in the room
To explain this
unexplainable Doom
The son lies dead
Or not dead
I forget.
Those terrible
Lights moving
When he cannot
And he cannot
Like I cannot,
So I don't, I just stand-
Those terrible scars.
(I hate cars.)
There is no blame.
The young prince
Will awake in the
Spring
Mountains over water.
But who will bring
His Crown?
Who will hold
His Robe?
Who will lay him down
and who will call him cold?
I cannot.

12-30-10

I thought I
      heard him
Prance about.
I thought I
      heard him
Dance about.
   I thought I
Saw him
dancing without
      me.

This Place

This place in dim
    December
Let it not
    be my fate
To be
    drained
of bright Life's
    colors
To be
    waiting
at the gate
    for a sun
that never
    rises
in a faint
and
muddy
state.
