[352]▪︎[ Loss … 5•13•2022 ]

[ How Does One Deal With Loss? ]
[ @ First It Feels Like Pain Is The Boss ]

[ Nothing Moves Without Permission ]
[ Relief Is Your Own Mission ]

[ It Is Hard To Think ]
[ That You Will Never Go Over To Their House For A Drink ]

[ No More Going For A Ride ]
[ Now You Want To Stay Home & Hide ]

[ Hide From The Pain & The Despair ]
[ Because You No Longer Want To Care ]

[ Care Is A Funny Word ]
[ Sometimes It Is The Worse ]
[ That You Have Ever Heard ]

[ You Want To Lock That Feeling Into A Silent Cage ]
[ Along With The Word Rage ]

[ You Won’t Be Able To Afford The Effort ]
[ Because In (30) Days You Will Find Yourself In Court ]

[ For You Were The Driver, When Your Best Friend Died ]
[ Ever Since, You Have Cried ]

(154)▪︎[ Give Myself A Talk … 2•17•2020 ]

[ I Tell You This ]
[ I’ll Tell You No Lie ]
[ That When Death Gave You It’s Kiss ]
[ I Had To Try ]
[ To Keep A Dry ]
[ Eye ]

[ You Were My Last String ]
[ Connecting Me To This Messed Up Family Thing ]
[ Now, Who Will Bring ]

[ Such Laughter ]
[ Only During Our Phone Calls ]
[ Not After ]

[ We’d Punch Each Other Silly With Our Put-Downs ]
[ We’d Take Turns Being The Clown ]
[ You Were Supposed To Take Me To Our Home Island ]
[ & Show Me The Town ]

[ All Of Our Dreams Of Growing Old Together ]
[ Has Changed As Fast As The Oregon Weather ]

[ All Because Of This I Ask ]
[ Why Did You Not Complete The Simple Task ]
[ Of Putting On Your Mask ]
[ During The Night After Last ]

[ Maybe You Are Now Sending Me A Message, In Your Own Way ]
[ If I Want To Wake To See Another Day ]

[ I Must Fight ]
[ To Make Things Right ]
[ By Making Sure That MY Mask Must Be On Tight ]
[ Night After Night ]

[ So Everytime I Balk ]
[ I Should Give Myself A Good Talk ]

(80)▪︎[ Losing Faith … 1•22•2021 ]

[ I Am Losing Faith In The Human Race ]
[ When I Look @ Society ]
[ All I See Is An Angry Face ]

[ Nobody Smiles Or Gives You A Pleasant Greeting ]
[ Because We Wear Masks ]
[ There Is No Chance Meeting ]

[ You Can’t Tell If Someone Is Smiling Or Having
     A Bad Day ]
[ I Don’t Ask ]
[ & Nobody Will Say ]

[ We All Keep Our 6 Feet Apart ]
[ We Hide Our Emotions ]
[ While We Protect Our Hearts ]

[ Because Of The Year 2020, We Wonder ( WHAT COULD
     BE NEXT? ) ]
[ We No Longer Talk On The Phone ]
[ We Only Send Each Other A Text ]

[ So Devoid Of Emotions Or Feelings In The Words ]
[ When You Are In Person ]
[ You Walk Away Knowing More Than You Heard ]

[ But Society Has Been Quarantined From Each
     Other For So So Long ]
[ Always Afraid Someone Could Be Around Someone
     That Is Sick ]
[ Then Watching Everything Go Wrong ]

[ People Who Die From The Virus Die Alone In
     The Hospital ]
[ Instead Of Looking Into Your Loved Ones Eyes ]
[ They Die Staring @ A Blank Wall ]

[ & I Don’t Want That To Ever Happen To Me ]

~ The End ~

[ Mahalo ]
[ A hui hou aku ]
