Death Of By My Side
If I could have you back in the master bedroom with me the room I designed for you with windows of clear light in the summer October maple tree leaves and painted frost clinging to them in the winter No space came inbetween even as the clean air circulated There you are stretched out dead looking long and limp-necked I carried you downstairs each of my steps precise and final as I placed you securely in the car our last ride our last time to be together The ground you lie under is fruitful from my moistened tears you were by my side for 17 years I sat at the bottom of the stairs looking up at the lonely, dark climb I would have to take alone.* *I miss u everyday "Mookie" !!
