Missie's Last Day
By Jorah Long

.

An offering-
a whisper of angel's breath,
a flutter of wings
born now to death.
And of the afterlife
we dream…
Of Grampy's smooth arms
we dream…
Sweet honey tears
to wipe away,
They'll come again,
again, again
many other days.
But today you suffer
my precious friend-
misshapen and wasted-
all but your big brown eyes
that give me no answers…
Shall I give you to the skies?
I have an offering.
And of the afterlife
we dream…
Of Grampy's smooth arms
we dream…
