A Welcome Poem

dear saint broken heart

i'm glad you're here

it's been a rough few weeks

between the cancer and the ward,

his dead brother and us losing

each other, less than nothing

i can do but it helps to have you here

your beautiful silence

your saint brokenness

on my shoulder

 

dear saint bro

we'll be okay

someday

someday

someday

 

you won't be so scared

and i won't be so blue

i'll be chirping

i'll be dancing

i'll be trying something new

 

just

like

you

 

you've always cried

with me you've always

been my dear my only

saint broken hearted birdy boy
