Reflections of Being Six and Dealing with Death

poetry

When my hamster died
I knelt down
Clutching him between
Trembling fingers
As his soft body
Cooled and stiffened
To hardening knobs
That felt like a
Handful of rocks
He dissipated
To lifelessness
No matter how hard
I cried and
Tried to hold on

June is gone

poetry

just like that,
gone before
i knew it was here,
gone again
like all the others,
with not much accomplished
with not much changed,
except for me,
somethings changed
inside of me.

The 30th of June

poetry

tantalizing clouds
hold out hope of rain;
perhaps there will be fireworks.

poetry

summer is a whirl
pool dragging me into
lethargy

Speak Sleep

poetry

And raindrops sing
a lullaby
I only find disjointing,
so close the window tight,
and one more thing:
Goodnight.
