"uncle na!" I'd yell out, and jumped on to your back
people would stare and maybe smile
to know she had a dad
adopted (maybe) or step-parent from birth
either way, she's happy

You can predict my future
You can reign on sight
Last year I was at a funeral for my grandmother.
My strong, polish grandmother
Who grew up in Dachau concentration camp.
We all wept,
Me especially,
8 years can fly by like a passing train,
They can be full of happiness and sun,
Or they can be full of depression and rain
Sometimes your thoughts can be overrun,
I can't grasp the concept of death; how someone can be here one moment and gone the next.I didn't think a fragile needle had the power to take the lifeof a man who fathered my cousin and had a wife.
Today I saw a squirrel
and I named it Peanut.
I don't know why:
he just looked like a Peanut,
as in the name and not the food.
He was squat and round,
grey whiskers poking out across
Why?
Why, god have to take you away
You were my hero in bright shiny armor
You guided me into the light
When i was hidden, hiding in a corner consumed by darkness
Consumed my pain and sorrow
Why?
I miss the type of friends we used to be, but uncle can't you see...
that I'm dying, I've spent nights crying,
making myself believe it's not true,
and waking in the morning asking where are you?
