cancer
each day filled with beauty
and the need to define ita yellow sun in a white sky
marigolds
small details used to shade in
the emptiness left by a
fourteen year old girl brutally murdered
in her own houseand there is a man i know
who will scream out christ's name
and expect an answerthere is always this need to
reinvent america
and what can you do with anger
besides wait for it
to build into violence?the answer is nothing
look at history
imagine the future
war in both directions
and at what point will you be able to
view your child's death as
a necessary thing?keep your answer to yourself
count the number of days
before it grows large enough
to devour you
