Lewis Eron Poems

Dear God,
Heavenly Bookkeeper
You better not err this year.
...

There is a god for every dream
Even the bad ones – the nightmares
Though some prefer “angels” to “gods”
As if there were a difference.
...

A soldier's death is not pretty -
Gassed green-gray in a trench;
Ripped, torn, crushed, cut
By machine guns hidden in hedgerows,
...

This Rock

Once upon a time
This rock was a mountain,
...

Preaching is what is true after
All the boring preachers fail
To catch a wind, a breath - The tale
Continues, plots break, metaphors splinter
...

There will be a day when our dead will be quiet
Their silent voices will no longer be heard
In our heads
When we sleep
...

We are Made of Forgotten Stars

We are made of forgotten stars
The light of the beginning
...

The one thing I won't need soon
Is a new suit,
Not until
The ones I own
...

Dead Jews walking -
This is not a Holocaust poem
Although some survivors are still walking
Slowly
...

There will be a day when our dead will be quiet
Their silent voices will no longer be heard
In our heads
When we sleep
...
