Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from...

I was a fashionable interior decorator, beautifying comfortable, loved homes;
And selecting wall paints, fabrics and furniture, like the sparkle of gemstones.

If I had to choose
would I brave that dark sea
waves crashing relentlessly upon me
knocking aside the armor I've spent so long
meticulously piecing together

congestive heart surgery.

but brought on massive clots 
to the lungs.

I was an hour and a half away
and...

Offspring between close family members
not biologically fit nor ablest
even if direct immediate relations
consider themselves best
buddies, emotionally intimate, and offload
heavy matters weighing down

on their respective figurative chest,
cuz lurking within brethren and cistern genes,
and/or chromosomes dwell deadliest
nastiest,...

Dad came home with a packaged parcel
when I was just a boy.
A special gift he'd bought for me.
I had hoped it was a toy.

With pain screeching, no thought for vanity,
After my horrible health issue late last year,

Whether slumbering upon a royal palace bed or a cottage cot,
Either provides blissful snoozing, it really matters not!

He drank beer on tap
Slurped, burped, fell over and napped
No fault of my own but I took the rap.

Appetizing jerky tips, and...

pesky
fly, 
came buzzing by
to rest and munch
and eat his lunch
and have some fun
on the hound dog's

He

awhile
by piles of leaves
in dappled shade

Since their larva days...
