Guilty, regret--Penalty, death--score four.
Draw straws, short-shot, long-hung, two-kill-one.
His short-[bang], his long-[hang]. Lose, I'm done for.
Broad swords, last breath be death. He's dead ... I won!
No, the court has ruled ... death. Bring out three more.
The old woman walks past
our house
pulling her grocery trolley,
once more,
head down,
leaning forward,
like she does
in heat or chill,
bright or gloom-
She looks over at me
and smiles
for the first time.
I had wondered,
not seeing her for a while,
if she had passed.
Or, like our neighbor
to the left,
if her smile was a sign,
not even mysterious-
The joy of the street
filled with kids on bikes
and the slight pause
when the body is taken away.
He too had smiled,
toothless, wild with life, unafraid
and then his mattress
was on the curb.
Crows sat on it for days
daring him to return.
the streets took hold like death to you fair queen
your crown a rag wrapped round thy weary head
a need, a goal but often just a dream
your body, your mind, the need to be fed
a heartfelt cry as I called out your name
to you I strode across the shelter floor
homeless armor wrapped tight ‘round your svelte frame
our embrace this reunion oh so pure
no home for you no food to eat or drink
your world is there tucked inside a brown bag
but still you are able to hear and think
your heart, your pride a weight to bare, to drag
we’ll cross this naked bridge once more my friend
and when we do embrace shall come again
When we frist met she greeted me with so much Love and concern
I was excepted from the very beginning
She had a story to tell and I had a listening ear
We talked for hours and laughed for days
Some of the things she shared were amazing
We expressed our sorrors and our good times
Her hospitally was always full of grace and centered around me
When I walked in she had a smile on her face
As I think back at the things we shared and the short time
We had together it brings tears to my eyes and sadens me
She is gone now but I thank God for sending her to me
and the joyful memories that we shared will last for a life time
