Old AgeLike a slowly floating blanket it captured me, Wrinkles and aching bones slowly forming. Bouncing and giggling my grandchildren play Telling of things I didn't want to say. "Grandma, you're always tired, and why don't you dance?" "Grandma, your hands and shaking and your eyes have bags!" What they don't know is that deep inside Hiding behind my old, wrinkly eyes There dwells one of them, a young pig-tailed girl, Who longs to come show them I can be fun too! Old Age has taken over me, and soon I'll be gone, Leaving an old, ugly body to mourn. And flowting with stars, kissiOld Age


These Maternal TearsRain approaches wistfully. It tiptoes forward like a small child Pattering through a dark house To her mother's side after a nightmare. The fat, juicy drops glide gracefully Through the billowy gray clouds, Then splatter violently upon the ground. In our minds, clouding our emotion, Rain will be found. With a small wave and shower of tears, It evanesces from our sight-- A sorrowful mother Sadly forced to flee from her children.These Maternal Tears

Everybody whispers where birds fall dead
I smell the yellow sickness churning inside your head
Wiping flecks of foam, twisting with rabies
Bloody, we run through these fields of dead daisies
