Death of a friend
Eyes filled with tears and water,
Wet, salty about to falter.
"Where is she?"
"Where is Marty?"
All wet and soured, smelly, wet.
Rainy and sleety and pounding cement.
Sewage,rail pain and toil,
"I scream Marty, Marty!"
Pointed chin all fair and blood,
I cry almost to serve a flood.
Scream aloud "Marty!"
The laughter is gone.
The pain adheres like glue but,
Worse, like fly paper never to be removed.
Exquisite scar. pain, pain.
Groan I do, night and day.
Marty, Marty, too much pain.
Death shrouds, black, pews.
Flowers of life.
"Marty, Marty?"
She lies still.
Wet, salty about to falter.
"Where is she?"
"Where is Marty?"
All wet and soured, smelly, wet.
Rainy and sleety and pounding cement.
Sewage,rail pain and toil,
"I scream Marty, Marty!"
Pointed chin all fair and blood,
I cry almost to serve a flood.
Scream aloud "Marty!"
The laughter is gone.
The pain adheres like glue but,
Worse, like fly paper never to be removed.
Exquisite scar. pain, pain.
Groan I do, night and day.
Marty, Marty, too much pain.
Death shrouds, black, pews.
Flowers of life.
"Marty, Marty?"
She lies still.
