ASH
back   next

let down

he looked straight into our eyes
pupils centered
in crystal clear blue
and his lip quivered

"he's o.k.", i said
and breathed a sigh of relief
and had a good night's sleep

no one bothered
to tell us
that it takes days
for brain cells to die




denial

all the toys in the world
for my bouncing baby boy

ring it up, sir
i'm in a hurry

my little man
is at home
waiting for me
