Premium MemberAngola Silence

Angola Silence  (Renku)


In a silent mood
Await the pure white horses
To draw the carriage 

Someday comes my turn
Laid amidst the other graves
Angola will reign 

Carry a brother 
Dispense final dignity
In this place of pain


Premium MemberThree Brothers Playing Sax

Brothers agreed on almost nothing
Except the sax, which bound them spiritually.
They came together to play at their mother’s funeral
She was watching, naturally, loving her sons

All three brothers kept their grief to themselves
Sharing no feelings, for it is not manly, right?
Their saxophones did their talking for them.
“Those are my boys!” Mom said to the angels.

Premium MemberA Saint At Death

KeyAnna was an absolute exquisite wonderful joy,
Said more than one person, many one after another.
She was simply adored by every girl and boy.
Except her more knowing sister and brother.

They both marveled at how many she had fooled.
Siblings listening to tribute comments about their sis.
Decided the survivors did not need to be schooled.
Her funeral was not the place to out this horrible Miss.

Premium MemberUpon the Death of My Brother

At the end of this past night's dream, I came around the corner and saw into the kitchen, where Wilum was doing the dishes. I stood a moment paralyzed, realizing he was a ghost, as he turned and smiled at me. I said, "Oh. You came." I strode forth and hugged him tightly, and woke weeping.

Wally was a warrior
took no crap from no one 
gave no crapt to none
Wally was my warrior,worrier number one

wise from the south side
smart from the walls
Wally was warrior One
no one had more balls

we enjoyed a lot of times
drank ourselves sick sometimes
wouldn't ever take it back
but now his friendships what I lack

gonna miss U for a long long time 
but this sure aint the last 
that this world is gonna see
of Wally KID BLAST
       
         PALLANES


Premium MemberFor Paul

For Paul


I heard the siren loud and shrill
And down my back there cruised a chill
A gas explosion, down the mine
Had blocked the shaft at number nine.

Twelve miners trapped beneath the ground
But one was dead when they were found
My brother Paul, of sixteen years
My mother’s face awash with tears.

Just like a babe she bathed her son
Her little boy whose life was gone
My chest so tight...my throat so dry
A pain so deep I could not cry

Years pass,but still there are times
 just before sleep
When I remember...and weep.
