Death has soaked this year to the bone,
leaving me wide-eyed,
shivering, wet.
Enough. Enough,
I beg with my palms,
but this year was a hyena,
killing for joy rather than
need.
It took my starman, it took my space princess,
it took my American dream
and just when I was beginning to feel
there was nothing left in me to take
Carrie Fisher took my heart
out to the stars somewhere
far, far away
leaving the rest of my body on Earth,
wide-eyed, shivering,
wet.
amazingly well-written
hang in there love ❤
Thank you for the kind words, and I wish you the same ❤
Moving! I enjoyed reading it.
Many thanks!
A helluva year. For sure.
You can say that again. How have you been lately, Johnny? It’s good to be back in wordpress territory again.
Trying to make my way back…
A beautiful poetic response that I readily agree with.
Many thanks, friend 🙂 I hope 2017 is better, for both of us.
