no, no

no, no

not dead ~

but also not alive

.

the truth is that

i couldn’t care

if i live or die

.

 

no, no

not dead ~

a stirring from the core

.

the truth is that

i’ve been through this

a thousand times before

.

my life has come to nothing

but a waited-for memorial

except for what i could provide

in “angry birds” tutorials

.

no, no

not dead ~

the son is on the rise

.

“forty~days” of lent

and then a wonderful surprise!

.

no, no

not dead ~

but singing to the sun

.

and spiritually connected

to each and everyone

.

my life is at a crossroads

with no left or right

go forward and go on

or face the wall and die

.

no, no

not dead ~

but also not alive

.

the truth is that i couldn’t care

if i live or die

  1. The inner conflict that was Martha. Life can be so insanely hard. Miss you terribly though you’re with me always.

  2. Her tortured soul shows up so clearly in this poem. I miss her and I know she is finally at peace. I wish she could have found that peace here with us!
