THE DAY

MY SOUL CRIES

MY HEART TRIES TO RATIONALIZE,

WHY?

MY SOUL SEES A REALITY

THAT MY MIND DENIES

MY HEART SCREAMS EARTH SHATTERINGLY LOUD

MY EARS REFUSE TO HEAR

MY EYE SHEDS A TEAR

MY LUNGS STRIVE TO INHALE

HAVING FORGOTTEN TO EXHALE

WHILE THE WIND OF LIFE SMASHES MY FACE

TO THE BACK OF MY SKULL

MY MUSCLES CONTRACT

MY KNEES YIELD

AS THE FAITHFUL GROUND

CATCHES MY BODY

LIKE THE MOTHER SHE IS

DID I …?

BUT WHY …?

MY DOG DIED
