People are waiting to see

A Poem by lee von cleef
"

Court, Conservator, Guardian,Nightmare

"

The train wreck…
Or, capitulation…
The poetry of family
Ripped, road-rash raw, naked to the public
Lips sewn bailing wire shut, Eyes blinded to the accusers
As the circular firing squad
Rips the carcass away
Oblivious to the unending consequential
Collateral damage
Jackals, Coyotes, buzzards, mealworms,
Carting, picking, pocketing
Savoring, hoarding their “entitled’’ portions
It is what it is. But soon
There are no second chances
Life is full of risk.
Some acceptable, some not
Just depends how close
The overloaded dump truck crossing the center line
Is to your family.

L.V.C.
