A slow waltz,
A turn here, a slide there,
A wish for the music to never end.

She wondered
If other mothers
Felt the same
When their baby died:
Dull, dark and empty,
As if part of them
Had been torn away,
Buried in another place,
Far off in some foreign ground; . . . more

Losing you doesn't
make me hate you any less.
My little girl heart has grown
into the heart of a woman
who still hopes her heart
will stop beating when
she hears heavy footsteps . . . more

If not in the midst
of God's most peaceful people
can violence be
kept away, where then is it
that safety will find itself?
Will madmen with guns
violate our every
place where . . . more

Hiding in shadows,
afraid of the light,
I join with the night,
and darkness is where I linger;
I see you laughing
without a care;
It's hard to believe I was there
only a week ago.

at her birth, smiles around
she was crying her heart out
smiling now, heavenward she is set
those around her have their eyes wet

Phone sirens death
Grief crackles and burns
Searing red rimmed eyes
Phone rings
Tortured tongues spread wild fire wails
Screaming her demise
Mother is gone
She died we

I kissed her china doll head . . . more

He sliced my veins
With the thorns of wild roses.
Under a Scorpio moon.
I felt his fascination
As the deep, red wine coloured blood
Oozed intensely
Against my translucent . . . more

Kase thought Blanck would have made it through,
But he was he blown away on his
First virgin tour of the damned war,
And had he time in the sharp split
Second to think it through it would

Ed Nudelman's latest column, Poetry of Death, is a wonderful survey, but leaves aside suicide, somtimes considered a disease particular to poets.
The "confessional poets" of some forty years . . . more

A Teacup For Comfort
Your teacup is sitting here
the one you gave me when
last you sat with me-
never believing that day
to be our last.
Did you know when in a whirl of hurry
that day
I ran, stumbled, . . . more

Involuntary solitude
blankets me like wet wool,
and stalks me in the canyons of my vacant chest.
I am prey to the howling wolf of loneliness,
as if there were some sustenance . . . more

Sometimes she sits and broods
And knows the darkly moods
Will pull her down
And let her drown
In memories unlocked
From dark rooms. Nothing blocked
From the sad days and hours.
All this . . . more

Free Spirit
My father's youngest brother,
same age as my mother,
handsome as a movie star
with deep brown eyes.
I adored him.
His guilt for having

Strange and beautiful,
silent stalker filled with grace;
Death is a whisper;
Time, a dark shadow looming,
reflecting on mirrored glass.

It all began with
Sinatra singing
From a radio
In the corner of
The room and Donna's
Fat husband, Joey
Singing along with
The voice, making an
Awful sound, like cats
In a sack . . . more

We pillage and plunder
We murder
We rob;
We live in dark denial
wearing masks of innocence
as the sweet earth dies around us.
We blame,
point fingers
as death swirls around;
We pretend . . . more
