Elegy For Days Lost
Elegy For Days Lost
Another day has come and passed
Left pain and sadness in its wake
The seconds, minutes, hours amassed
The sun will give the moon will take
The distant friends the loved ones lost
Amid the times of dread disease
Each family will count the cost
And curse the name of days like these
And yet the sky was clearest blue
I wrote a poem, sang a so...

Teardrop
Teardrop
A
teardrop
for each life lost
a broken heart for friends,
a sadness that never goes away

kneading, coaxing,
pleading for relief…
the insides of each hand
pinch against the aqualine
contours of my nose...

dust
dust
dust settles
dead skin
I trace my finger
