two poems by daniel hees
Untitled #1
Blood red water standing still in the puddle
Late dawn
Settled in morning
Unsettled mourning Un-
drunk bottle of wine Sun
drunk up you're shine
Broken flask
No casket
No wasted time.
I miss your smile
You never laughed as much you smiled
It’s been awhile now
Got a few miles down
I miss the way your tiles sounds
Our arguments bouncing off the ground, then the walls, then back off the ground again. Get up kid! you gotta forever be getting back up!
There isn’t a road that ends, just the ones you chose to walk.
The taste of Tuaca and coors from a can
I’ll go buy six packs to bath in
I even miss you laid up half dead in bed
Finger nails long and misshapen because ewe decided not to cut them Just to be trimmed for death
In heaven we all have dirty finger nails And a lose of breath
The last of it left when we die.
The eyes and last breaths of a dead man.
“Respond pawn to E5, don't forget to hide the bottom card, and don't think you thinking will get you that far.
Don’t hide your heart, i know you want too, I know its scary, but I'm dying and need to know the world sees you.
That you let the letter not represent but believe in you.
Each word is behind you like i am
Tattoo around your scars so we never forget them
