[hometext] => Dedicated to my brother, his birthday just passed and to anyone who has suffered a young loss
[bodytext] => Red play trucks and a smile from the two You always watched me play and I’d be watching you Well, I guess some things are true Like the way you loved In February you had a belly big and full You use to let me rub it by the pool And, every kid was praying for us at my school They’d write crayon wishes Broke soap dishes Washed down fishes The world’s vicious Is there any amount of kisses? I could throw? I just don’t know After dinner they left me home I was with an old white man all-alone He said, “Boy, look how much you’ve grown” It’s just like a miracle The fences rusted and the car pulled up I was watching through with my sipping cup With my Lego toys and my pointer pup And I saw her stone cold face Tag and chase Tie a butterfly lace And they cursed this place Why can’t you be it and race? Is it my turn? You sure are quick to learn Holding tight hands in a churches pew I was far too young but somehow I knew When, she let me touch the scar I touched something true How unfair this world is And the choir sang and my father cried The doorbell rang and the doctor’s lied I was standing there a few feet tall in black trying to hide Knowing something’s just not right About cutting tongues to spite Losing your appetite Debates of what’s wrong or right Or, have you seen a bitter light? At a funeral with a tiny casket Wondering, but not wanting to ask it?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
