Impossible to Say Goodbye

Coldness has become my friend

The dark of night wraps around

Joy has gone astray

Uncertain feelings hold me down

A life has been lost

But a life shall be gained

When a new day arrives

You will be here again

When all unfolds

Confusion cleared – and I can see

I will not stand alone

You will live inside of me

You are a breeze upon my face

Invisible to my eye

Forever you will always remain

Impossible – to say goodbye

Written after the death of my mother.  Even when someone has gone, and essence still remains.  Everything they were and all they did for you will still be alive.

The Trouble with Washing Cars

The color was white

but the winter has been hard

even for the cars.

 

“You need to wash it,”

they said to me more than once

“It is a white car.”

 

At last, I listened

and I paid ten whole dollars

to wash the car clean.

 

The very next day

it rained and snowed and rained more

on my so clean car.

 

That is not the end,

as I drove home on wet roads

scowling the whole ride

 

a dirty mean rock

left a chip in my windshield.

Bleeping-bleep rock chip.

 

Yes, this is a drought

(sigh) so I should be thankful

for all the moisture.

 

And am I grateful?

I have no pleasant comment –

ask me later, k?
