The Crow

The raw, repetative screech
following me


every morning...........

To a place that I could hide
and laugh
where young men

mimicked

the raw, repetative screech
following me

Look Right Through Me

Look Right Through Me I looked in your eyes, and what did I see That clearly you were not thinking ‘bout me What is it about me, I really must ask That makes you look past me, like I wear a mask You know you can trust me That your confidence I’ll keep I am always loyal, faithful to friends That’s where it stops, yes, that’s where it ends I never saw this coming, though In fact, I don’t even want you to know So why am I feeling this, what did I see I felt like we had a sweet chemistry I can’t even mention this-feel like a fool I know I can’t do it, which just isn’t cool I put feelings to paper to shelter my heart I have to protect me, I have to be smart I find it amazing that I’m here to write To mention my feelings, these feelings I fight It seems pretty silly, the way that I feel So, silly in fact, perhaps it’s not real?

I am half

What happens to people when they lose half of themselves Do they realize that they cannot live with so much loss?

ELIZABETH'S GRANDPA

ELIZABETH’S GRANDPA How can I describe him when she asks? The kindness, the forgiveness How he strived for togetherness The overwhelming carefulness He showed in each one of his tasks. What can I tell her about his life? The way he scrimped and saved My piano playing that he raved The passage for my life that he paved How we always survived any strife. Why do I want her to know about him? The strength and integrity I believed How humility and optimism were conceived The abundance of love that I received How his selfless manner never grew dim. What can I tell her when she wants to know? The reasons that he died How I grieved and how I cried The way I stood by his side How I didn’t want him to go. ~Vickie Skowronski Copyright 1995
