this picture poem is 8 by 10 inch and is available HERE
Everyone was there
my mum who put me up
for adoption then died from cancer
my mum who raised me
then died from old age
my brother who still
is my favourite human who died of AIDS
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1987
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1972
my master teacher who
died of a brain tumour
my master teacher who
killed herself
my dog (puppy) who chased
another dog whilst in heat never to return
We shared a glass of
liquid light
talked about the old
days
and how strange it was
that I was still alive
when the plan had always
been
that I would go first
and meet all of them
after I had set the
table
for this our final meal
together. 8-20-1994 Victor Harbor South Australia
though my dad (94 this
year) is still doing fine up there in Clifton Park, actually but a boomarang’s
toss from the woods in the photo above. Just thought I would share
all this with you today.
