Poem For My Dying Grandfather Afraid To Fall Asleep

Slip off easy into the secret of your breath,
Beautiful beaten man,
Your flowers will be fenced in no longer,
Your childhood playmates are waiting in the promise land
To lift your bruised believing body off
Into the echo of your thunder

You are a boy growing younger
From the magic of the past,
Don’t ask me how
The light is visible now,
No more do you have to hide your darkness from the dark,
Hold your heart up,
God will take care of it
If you don’t wake up

Twenty Dollars

Just letting you know
The other day
When I hurt your feelings
By inferring you were balding
It had nothing to do with you really
It was my own insecurities

See for a moment there
I thought my girlfriend liked you better than me
I became very scared and jealous
I criticized you to make myself feel better
And to make my girlfriend think you were ugly

You are not ugly,
You are not even balding,
There is nothing wrong with thin hair.

Along with the note
I have left you twenty dollars
Go buy yourself a nice big breakfast
Or a Beatles album
It is the least I can do.
