Hello ADD ambulance, Dave speaking…
Wait – let me get a pencil.
Ok, where was that?
Ok, we’re on our way.
Let’s go – heart attack –
43 Sechrist .
Sechrist or Sea Crest?
Shit. I’m not sure.
Shit! We’re on empty.
Good, I need coffee.
Shit. I need smokes.

shimmering leaves
wave to the universe
light years away
when death comes

when death comes
the hand of life
reaches down
to lift up the soul
like a kitten
and gently
place it elsewhere

always saying goodbye always saying hello
July 12, 2006
with each wave
these last moments
bathe our consciousness
there is nothing else.
the breeze
takes our hair
to wave goodbye
jobs are waiting.
put the tiny shells
in your pockets
I tell the boys
so the big ones won’t crush them.
two buddies –
they are eleven
never to be eleven again
the wind dries the tears I hide.

where then?
July 5, 2006
it may seem
as one gets older
and friends
begin to die off
and associates
begin to die off
and siblings
begin to die off
and unknown age-mates
populate the obituary
it may seem
life has become a game
of musical chairs

once young blades
June 27, 2006
young blades
who once ripped
through life,
cutting from
infinite possibilities,
now rust in a heap.
They long for the grip
of hammered hands
to spray
fine sweet dust
into the day
like mighty whales!

How I wish to have him back –
even for a minute.
(We can give a lifetime in a minute.)
