A poem in memory of Henry, my first son, who died at age fifteen from a brain tumor Henry


Words For My Son

If I should open the door

And suddenly a man, you

At thirty-seven walked in,

Who would you be?

Where have you been?

I would know you.

You would love me.

Symbiotic drums would

Beat. You would be


Alive! Alive!

Impressive imagery in this closing:

"Symbiotic drums would
Beat. You would be
Alive! Alive!"


I enjoyed the reading of "Words For My Son".
