Birds

How many funerals will it take
for you to finally understand?
Not with your head,
But with your heart.
They say death is a part of life,
But some of us have seen
More than our fair share.
Those flames that burn too brightly,
Flocks of souls
Flying too close to the sun.
Compassion post-mortem is

........................................... far

.................................................... far

............................................................. too late.

MG,

2010 for me was a year of "preventable" deaths, both nationally (with regard to shootings in the U.S. and queer youth suicides) and personally, with several friends who were either affected by these events or who took their own lives.

So thank you for reading and responding to this one. It means a lot to me to know that someone out there has seen these words.

Hugs,
Eilidh Arrow
