Karen

this is for my aunt. -enjoy-

 

No laughter

No smiles

waves crash fifty feet away

but no one Notices

fifteen people

counting seconds on couches

memorized dictionaries

Help not

No words

or phrases

can Express

Anything

small Talk?

Sure

the Ailing one sits

Black and White

in a Forced too bright World

fifty years ago today

a happy Day

a Kiss

a Cake

a pretty white Dress

Now

fifteen people

Sitting

Waiting

Wish this would end

life to go on

back on track

surrounded by Family

awkward seconds

Cherished?

soon to end

bad energy

the picture that was never taken

should never be taken

in my mind

I see

an aunt I never really knew

counting down the seconds
