The Unbearable Weight of Loss
Dear Tim
I’m sorry for your loss
I thought that after months
I’d have the words to say something comforting
But the unbearable weight you must carry
Is just beyond my comprehension
Brother
I know we’ve talked about her last days
Those last few hours you got to spend with her
And that even though you braced yourself
Nothing can ever prepare
You are a good son
A kind-hearted person who is always there for your family
My heart goes out to you
To your fam
To your nan
When we all released those...
I’m sorry for your loss
I thought that after months
I’d have the words to say something comforting
But the unbearable weight you must carry
Is just beyond my comprehension
Brother
I know we’ve talked about her last days
Those last few hours you got to spend with her
And that even though you braced yourself
Nothing can ever prepare
You are a good son
A kind-hearted person who is always there for your family
My heart goes out to you
To your fam
To your nan
When we all released those...

Sorry To Say This, Mom
Sorry to say this,
Mom. But if I go to the
Playboy Mansion and
pose nude for Mister Hefner,
I would soon be a true star.

Sisters strife
Sis
I could let you back in
Just like I know
You would want
However
You are simply
Not worth
The strife
You would bring
Into my life
I could let you back in
Just like I know
You would want
However
You are simply
Not worth
The strife
You would bring
Into my life

Last Memory
When I was a kid, I remember loving my dad.
He was a firefighter,
A superhero who was invincible, and loved by everyone.
Then things changed.
Invisible forces that I couldn’t comprehend as a kid.
All I saw was mom getting angrier,
Less food in the pantry,
And dad, once or twice a month.
More time with a babysitter, with grandma,
Less time with mom,
Even less with dad.
The last time I saw him he had long hair, I think.
We were at Target, in the early heat of May.
My birthday was coming up.

After She Had To Heterize Herself
Heather has kept both parents in
the dark about posing nude
within the pages
of some magazine for dudes.

That’s love
It’s hard loving someone and letting them go . Yes you were their first love and you nurtured them to live . Unapologetic and fiercely independent so they can
stand on their own feet and express themselves and experience their own journey on this earth . It’s letting go that love is truly made up of . A coat embroidered with firsts followed by more . A tailoring of lengthening the material with darts to fit the structure of seconds , thirds and more of its kind . Truly loving another from the top of their head to their toes is found in freedom and choices to find themselves with others...

Dreams And Fallen Leaves
I sauntered in the old place
Looking about for that familiar
Thrice I had screamed
"I AM HERE,PLEASE DONT TEASE"
wind whistled through the old windows
Dust despair
filling this old soul
Drops from the cherry tree
pound the roof
Echoes of Her
reverberate
living proof
"Whatchya doing buddy,write anything new?"
"Sure did Mum,something for You"
Silent those strings
no
no songs heard here
Just my shuffle and the flowing tear
Still
the images
Remembering lineage
I am...

Kosher Safari
my aunt's 80th birthday
was of course a special occasion
an extra special celebration was warranted
not just another luxury cruise
or Ritz Carlton stay in an international capital
no, something more adventurous
something...rugged even!
my cousin and her rich husband
both reform Jews who went orthodox once married
had the perfect solution:
a kosher safari
when Aunt D first says
kosher safari
my brain sparks and sputters
kosher
safari
what the...?
before I thought through kosher...

Never be Glum
Never be glum old man, you had a life to desire,
You stood on the shoulders of giants, merely to push the bar higher,
Till alone you stood, peerless and brilliant,
The best of a generation, daring to be different.
Armed with jokes, diffusing all tensions,
Lobbing knowledge grenades, anecdotes, penetrating questions,
You had a style that could not be ignored
The giant of a little man, cranky but adored.
Never be glum old man, take pleasure in your crew,
We inherited that glint in your eye, mini versions of you,
No wonder we all...

Gratitude
Incredible is my mother
She is kind like no other
A pure Angel is nothing compared to her
Beautiful and fraich as dew,
Enchantress
Light that shines for us all
Lilas, Roses I'll pick for her
Everything to make her happier

Hey Dad.
Hey Dad
I‘m getting five today
And I know that you gonna be there
And I know we‘ll have some fun today
So see you soon when you get here
I love you
Hey Dad
My 10th birthday was cool
Was different with you not being there
I hope we can celebrate soon
We still got some cake to share
I got new toys!
Can we play with them?
I know we‘ll have fun
Tell me, when will you come again?
In how many months?
I miss you
Hey Dad!
Where’s your fucking face?
You send a present, huh?
And you send a...

The Suffering Ceased
She received it in her womb in joy
In bliss, she start calling it my girl or boy
She begins to vomit, praying that God may keep it save
Days were counting down, she endured it and still brave
Husband died after she conceived unborn
She was so thrive as she was passing in thorns
After six months, her womb began to bloat
Baby was enjoying inside as if it float
Kicking and boxing while its mom is in pain
Suffering today, happiness will be gained
Baby move itself round its mom's belly
While its mom was in front...
In bliss, she start calling it my girl or boy
She begins to vomit, praying that God may keep it save
Days were counting down, she endured it and still brave
Husband died after she conceived unborn
She was so thrive as she was passing in thorns
After six months, her womb began to bloat
Baby was enjoying inside as if it float
Kicking and boxing while its mom is in pain
Suffering today, happiness will be gained
Baby move itself round its mom's belly
While its mom was in front...
