No Such Things as Happy Endings

Broken eyes finally fixed,                                                     Perhaps broken eyes fixed, though the word finally leads us to something endured                              
I was actually greeting death
when I kissed you goodbye last night.
Your cheek reeked of poisonous medicine,
head bald-
you used to tell me how dad first noticed
you because of your curly hair.

When I slept the next morning, the hidden sun                 As I slept? Is this a dream that follows (eyes closed, hidden sun)
became my grandmother, drinking her third beer              or is Grandma's sneaking a beer offer sunshine somehow?
from a porcelain mug. The hazy sky                                  
the grandfather I never knew, distant                                I like how this gives a glimpse into the raw emotions and memories                           
like what he stole from you.                                                that are stirred at such a time.                         



Hi Richard, this poem seems a release of expression of a very hard moment.
A difficult, tiring, painful, subject matter. I hope all is well.
