On my Father's death last night. Death of a father. Night of nothing. Morning of less. Anhedonia. A family like the Walton's on crack. Drama looms. Not a human feeling in the bunch. Death a hyena at camp fire's edge. Light goes out. Step up to the grave. Now you are first in line. Mortality worm gnaws. No exemptions. Gnaw back. We are but a moment's sunlight. Some not even. Only lesson. World goes on. Without us. An instant. Good morning blues. Blues how do you do. ~mce

Nothing And Less
On my Father's death last night. Death of a father. Night of nothing. Morning of less. Anhedonia. A family like the Walton's on crack. Drama looms. Not a human feeling in the bunch. Death a hyena at camp fire's edge. Light goes out. Step up to the grave. Now you are first in line. Mortality worm gnaws. No exemptions. Gnaw back. We are but a moment's sunlight. Some not even. Only lesson. World goes on. Without us. An instant. Good morning blues. Blues how do you do. ~mce
