It was 2 a.m. and I was
unable to sleep.
I heard the awful news
that you were no longer
with us.
I was told that you
took a bullet,
and that death was instant.
I cried my heart out
the whole ride back
to NYC from Rhode Island.
I spoke to the Medical Examiner
over the phone and was
sent a copy of the autopsy.
You were my older brother
and I looked up to you
for guidance in life.
New York City raised you
but Oklahoma is where
you expired.
I long to have you
back but you instead came
home in ashes.
