Characteristics of You

by jessi-robinson

Comical, lively some characteristics of you the flow of your words, no matter the tone simply pressed upon my heart                           Strong, deceiving                           characteristics of the killer                           you fell, and fell hard                           in your own private haze years have gone by now your name not lost while others live in your gay memories I question, in the least joyful of ways                            What of your family?                            your three sons, their kin                            your sister, the last of imediation                            did you not care?                             or was there a secret that no one knew......... what did you think in your final moments of life? Or even so, could you think? no more than three, no more than one was that of remembrance?                             No, as the killer ran down                             your throat, you thought nothing                             you thought nothing but feeling,                             the selfish feeling of the killer which became                             a characteristic of you....

For my Uncle Bill, who opened his heart to alcohol and fell for it's lies.
