Someday
I know I won’t
be here
I’ll be gone to
heaven or hell
the causal plane
or even back
to the source
but I understand
it probably won’t
be here
someday
I fear that maybe I won’t
be able to know
you again
Gut Feeling
If you were to come back
when a lot of people do come back
maybe I wish they wouldn’t
now temples graying
breasts sunken and worst of all
with eyes dulled
I would just as soon pass
you will find that my belly has grown
huge wise and intolerant
Night
Some people look
at the night sky
and feel emptiness and loss
maybe for them
things really aren’t
so good at home
why would glitter
splashed across black velvet
make anybody sad
