Saw an angel
a
moment ago
who
spoke of peace
and
I spoke of
being
alone
and
the angel
showed
me
the
peace
of
being alone.
(c) Terrell Neuage (Adsit
pre-August-1981) ~ 5-1966 New York City
this picture
poem is 8 by 10 inch and is available HERE
Everyone was there
my mum who put me up for
adoption then died from cancer
my mum who raised me then
died from old age
my brother who still is
my favourite human who died of AIDS
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1987
my girl friend who killed
herself in 1972
my master teacher who
died of a brain tumour
my master teacher who
killed herself
my dog (puppy) who chased
another dog whilst in heat never to return
We shared a glass of
liquid light
talked about the old days
and how strange it was
that I was still alive
when the plan had always
been
that I would go first
and meet all of them
after I had set the table
for this our final meal
together.
though my dad (94 this
year) is still doing fine up there in
