like a stampeed herd of buffalo shuffling across floor I kept hearing stomping through the door no mist or beams of light but her dogs surely felt the erie fright clinging to me like a lovers intertwine I uttered to them you'll both be just fine I could feel my sister's enity come through the door I sat up and yelled your here no more as fast as she came in she backed out slowly once again I called out to her name said you died in your sleep oh what a shame could not fall to sleep the rest of the night waiting for another sign that she's alright she was only fifty seven now she resides in God's heaven her dogs placed in a no kill shelter But her visit felt like helter skelter Tribute To My Sister Phyllis {1951 - 2009 } R.I.P.

Interesting and scary. Thanks for your comments on my haiku "Churned". It is amazing to me that sometimes a person's anger is not about the here and now but goes back even sometimes for generations. Each person passes on the anger that was their parents and no one knows why that person is so angry. Of course, sometimes it is some form of mental illness or other reasons. Keep writing. Sara
