Beneath this green sod, lies
my Cousin Bruce.
It's true, his mother called him
'Silly Goose.'
Oh, that Nordic DNA, those
gorgeous blue eyes, and sense
of humor.
A skier and a Porsche race car
driver, he grew up to be.
Always filled with humor and
a genuine love for humanity.
Leukemia took his life at forty.
He serves God now, in grateful
and glowing, angelic glory.

1917 (one day)
On the cusp
Of deliberate morning,
I saw the mysterious light.
I saw the grace of one day.
It was but a momentary specter.
And I was rich for an hour!
It held me in its warm essences,
It dangled me for one flashing hot day.
One single day of human heartbeats.
Please spare me your sad tales,
Of times wasted and loves lost,
Of missed opportunities and decisions postponed,
Thinking it would never end.
As with you all,
I took for granted
The ticking tryranny of Old Cronus.
It’s okay mother.
You can let go now.
No tears.
No tears.
Chloe Broadbent
Stillborn 1899
My simple soul, my eyes,
Have never beheld the jewel of the night,
The morning star that ushers in
The dawning of a new day.
My brief inner heartbeat has never felt
The gentle pelting of the rain,
As it descends downward
Gently, peacefully, magically,
Like the mist of a cascading waterfall
Hidden deeply
Far away
Somewhere in the distance
In the mysterious grottos and crevices
Created by God,
My only friend.
Dearest mother.
Although we were together for those nine months,
I never knew you.
My simple soul, my eyes,
Never beheld your soul, and your eyes.
And although you held me,
I never held you.
Citizens of Earth:
You have no idea.
You have no idea.
