  • A Complicated Death (Poem)

    How to mourn you?

    Only with detachment can I find room

    For kindness and compassion towards you.

    You struggled just as all do,

    And I wish to think you did your best.

    Some of your actions and words still linger with gray-tinged hurt,

    But now I can feel sorrow over these rather than resentment.

    When I speak at your service,

    I will recount one of the few memories I have

    That cast you in your best light.

    May you find in this death peace from suffering,

    An end to chasing illusory dreams, and the fade of your red anger.

    I laid down the burden of these long ago.

    Now may you do the same.

  • Transmutation (Poem)

    I stand in the storm and raise my face to the sky.

    One quick shiver, and I deliquesce.

    Not disappearance but metamorphosis.

    I swirl into the clouds to join the downpour.

    There is rain, and there are tears.

    I fall as both, to water the ground

    And touch your dreams with sorrow.
