“Sensible people find nothing useless.”
— Jean de La Fontaine
(Quote used by my grandmother. East Side High School, 1931)
While Holding Her Hand…
Posted in Poetry, Uncategorized with tags art, blogging, death, dustus, euthanasia, loss, Poetry, Triolet on March 20, 2019 by dustusFeeling I lost all sense of time
While holding her hand into sleep
Wondering if she hears me cry?
Feeling I lost all sense of time
Sitting beside mom euthanized
Telling myself it was a dream
Feeling I lost all sense of time
While holding her hand into sleep

Posted in Short Poems with tags Blog, blogging, dustus, love, Poetry, unrequited love, wishful thinking, withdrawal on March 6, 2019 by dustusWhen winter days feel empty
Ahead of spring’s warm thrill
It gets me through the worst of time
To think she loves me still
But that’s just wishful thinking
Straight Bourbon with a pill
When coming down to realize
It’s not worth feeling ill
