white pads will not do
my journaling must be yellow
my words black and blue
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

yes those were the daze
my friend we thought they would have
cleared up some by now
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

april sunshine -
a small spider
fiddles with its prey

nice five days with son
and his lovely girlfriend
here from the twin cities
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

this poem should
be kept away from small children
who still put things in their mouths
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

I sobbed when they left
happy and sad
the leaving birds can fly

we wallow in deep mourning

we build attachments knowing
our children will fly away
one day and that's okay
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

given enough love
children released into the wild
never forget home
