AT THE KITCHEN TABLE

AT THE KITCHEN TABLE

Mom sat across the table
From me, and altho I had my head down
I knew from sideways glance that hers
Was too.

We hadn't even buried Dad yet
He'd died just yesterday
My breakfast fixed for the two of us, inadequate
Barely touched, just sorta pushed around
The plate for the food wasn't just

Keys (Poem)

We pass these keys, to cease this journey

Our mind freezes, admiring the ceilings

Concealing these feelings of loss

Seemingly tossed inside a soulless world

Never taught how to sew the hurt

Yes, life is a tough tour

Although, we seek guides to countour

This maze which consumes the brain

Friendship (Poem)

Smooth flows, smooth flows, there’s no place for more foes

Searching for love in the wrong places, we propose to our roads

Share goals, share gold, that’s how deep the love goes

Every week we see ghosts, so many are fake close

Hatred switches sides like basketball teams, straight after half-time
