In Heralternate Universe
In her alternate
universe
she is the last
to think she's first.
alone on christmas
eve
she knew,
the end was near,
(I knew it too)
I gave her elephants
and cars,
and packages of almond bars,
but she kept staring at the stars
and that is what
she drew.
a place away from yesterday
where happy children
go to play
who died before they
found their way
to anyone like you.
cannons mark a brand new year,
but no one else is left to hear
I hold her hand
and drink a beer
but that's all I can do.
