Difficult day of my life.

But it was all okay because then

I married his wife.

Her name is Janice and I pretty sure

That she only married my brother for his dollar bills,

Because she was the only one written in his wills.

Janice and I have been married for a year,

I was never much a writer.

Ranting descriptions, laying out complex details, writing a universe in those pages.

Life was filled with

Wonder and magic

Once upon a time

Bedtime tales of fairies, mermaids,

And princess with their prince

Once upon a time

Dressing up with tutus, tiaras,

Fairy wings, and ‘magic’ wands

What value has the amethyst,

If every stone is rare?

What value has a vein of gold,

If every vein is near?

What value has the morning,

If night was never lord?

What is food to well-fed men?

What is peace to peaceful nations?

And what is Eden worth to man,

If we’d never known depravity?...

I’m dead

How is a question I can’t seem to answer.

I wander between the land of the living and dead, searching for something that I can’t seem to put into words.

Loosens my grip

A spasm of overworked muscles

Lightning storm of nerves

Stabbing

Then a freeze as the pain cresendos and ebbs away

Sharp as the splinters from my favorite mixing bowl as it crashes to the floor

Twenty years of banana bread and burnt pancakes

In shattered recrimination
