Forget About Me
sitting beside the
road dust flies into the air cars rush by
to forget your
unkind words that is the challenge still i continue to hear them
as if whispered
into my ear see your face contorted
the
snapping spitting of each word
the anger
displayed still i made no response i removed myself
to other
climes quiet meadows a gentle horse
with shiny
coat nuzzled my shoulder sun shines
it is warm in that
meadow from where does that anger come it amazes me
that people behave
in a manner unseen before not in my family
yet it is my
family who behaves in that manner how to forget
wipe the windows of
the bus clean it is as if we are all drowning at sea
i cannot save
you i cannot save myself you float away from me
soon i no longer see
you still there is something lost alone beside the road

Healing and Recovery
after a while i
could see again could feel again
still the pain
lingers is it illness or disappointment
pain or grief so
hard to tell one from the other
the damage was
done no one knows when sometimes there are no answers
maya says we won't
remember the words spoken but we know how they made us feel
perhaps it is
feelings that get sick the body follows
fill the old kit
bag off to war we can't always be sure
how it happened or
how to make the patient well healing can happen over time
sometimes not a
cold compress helps take an aspirin call me in the morning
