Inevitable
Shadows in our room
We all must go to the morgue
Death is observing

voices of ancestors
i heard
the sound
of flutes
playing in
the garden,
the fields,
leaves
alive now
with spirits,
no one
is asleep
in the far off
graveyard,
ancestors
wait,
their voices
come from
the
moist soil,
they
let me know
dreams
still exist.

The face still handsome
yet he is no longer there

I Really Did Not Know It Was My Husband!!
While stripping down
in order
to take a bath,
Barbara suddenly
heard someone breathe heavy
behind her, picked up a
gun and shot Peter dead in the face.

It’s your beautiful ending.
It’s your careless sigh.
It’s the way that you ended,
Without a real goodbye.

Sorrow
As the sunlight dies
In cold empty darkness
Stillness of the grave
What the ruins remember
Through time and memory
Chambers death through the winds
Where the flame is eternal
Awakening

Chambers death through the winds

What Made Her Scream In Terror
She opened her eyes
and saw her naked body
covered with sweat just
before she sat up and looked
at the charred corpse of some guy.

I Wish You Are Here To Share This With Me Again
While the
sun sets, she
would still
be sitting alone
on that one beach and
missing her murdered
husband
with all of
her heart.
