She didn't die; well not physically.
She went away mentally, and emotionally.
It's a forever vacation-

...

She comes raging back
into my life,
like a West Coast wildfire;

in the sweet afternoon light.
I lick softly the
...

There's a little
boy that hides in
the dark corners of
my soul.
...

Make the static go away,
the dead-dog depression;
the fleas tip-toeing across
my brain.
...

One of my
earliest memories is
of afternoons in
the backyard, standing on
