Scandalous is a person
A detail the dictionary forgot
They didn't have the joy of knowing you
They never will.
You left the same way you entered:
Inexplicably
Your enthusiasm caught us along
Spontaneously reckless
Always just around the corner
Cackling, head thrown back
Shocking me into hilarity
And now you're....
Elsewhere.
Oh goofy
Oh who's going to play beanie babies now?
The horses and ponies are missing from our field
The irises are blooming wild
Purple owls growl at me in the night time
All these displaced riders
Muttering "where is my niche?" over and over
As we spin
Fantails pecking at our insides.
The doorway was too small for the coffin
You would have laughed uproariously
We giggled, breaking the tension.
They removed the door,
Replacing it after.
Please shock me:
Sit up,
Hold my hand,
Something!
But you've turned to stone
And my doorway is too small
There's too much to let out
It all pushes at once
And nothing can get through
So I slowly remove my own hinges
And try to carry on.
I lost a close friend on Sunday. She was one of four of us, we've known each other almost our whole lives.
