Ruminate on life.
value in health, kids,
and loving wife.
…
Work to support
family, only one goal
warm childhood soul
…
Love, silky red mist
clothe my weary heart.
Life anew with kiss.
…
Time becomes soft
moments are fragile, gray,
memories are lost.
…
High above Earth,
life looks so very simple,
death is birth
…

She remains there, beneath life, under a heavy world.
Kids, events, age, career, household, her man,
she holds it all, on her shoulders,
in a labored squat.
He looks for the perfect polo, the best cologne,
he drives a shiny car into the sunset of career advancement,
he thinks he has it all, in his future,
because maybe, he doesn’t know squat.
