St. Peter is buried

underneath the

main altar of

the Basilica at

the Vatican.

***

But he is very deep down.

***

So down, I would bet,

during Mass, the

only thing St. Peter

hears is

***

“mmph… mmrph… waf waf mmph.”

Mcdonalds should have

something to help ease

the guilt I feel for

eating at McDonalds.

Somebody posted near

the door, perhaps.

Who says things like,

“Don’t worry, you’ll eat better next time.”

The light went out

Just burned itself out

The world is not as

bright since the light went out

***

It flickered for while,

still it made her smile

Then our world went dark

when the light went out

***

I had a thought I never

thought before I know

I’ll never be alone

***

Photographs and memories

trinkets left behind

***

Life as free as

summer breeze, we had

so many good times.

I guess when we die

and get to heaven

we automatically know

how to play the harp,

or are there lessons?

***

Because I don’t know

how to play it now

And I am not dying and

going all the way to

heaven just to take

music lessons.

.

I’ve never been

scared to death

but then I like

to pace myself.
