i didnt update yesterday, so today i will post two poems.
"you went away"
i went to the store
to buy you a going away card
but i couldnt find one that said
"i regret not asking you out two months ago"
at least not one with a cute dog on front.
"reflections of grandma"
my mom called to tell me my grandma had died
then i went to target
browsed through those sounds of nature c.ds they have on display there
i dont know if my grandma liked nature
what her favorite color was
how she met my granddad
or how old she turned on her last birthday
i do know that i dreaded her hugs
as a child i hid in the closet
as an adult i tried the garage
but she always found me with her skinny arms and grandma smell
i know that i never liked her homemade christmas gifts
i always dreamed of her being a secret heiress to a million dollar franchise
though now, i am sure that all the money would have gone to the kids that liked hugging her
(disclaimer: i am not as heartless and money grubbing as the poem makes me seem. it just came out that way. i guess i am one of those i-laugh-when-i-am-hurting types.)
here is one more short poem for good measure
"birthday wishes"
when my brother turned sixteen
my mother bought him a bra
4d, or some big size like that
she told him
"hang these over your bed and pray that God will fill them"
