In a Strange World
On a death bed, united
"Uncle, Uncle?!" screams I
Both born in the City of Angels
The connection between
two is stronger than first
imagined. No blood.
To save a loved one,
burst through the wall
from the other side
Grab the gun, tight
Swinging around, the trigger tugs--
out goes an innocents light
Everything moves in a blur
It's dinner time, to be set
Watching the show, careening about
Ham, turkey, stuffing, and eggs
A celebration for no one
Everyone dances to their own music
On death bed, united
That Love still not done
Seal it with a kiss, before
the night lights go out.
