Terry Horn - More Poems
later
when death arrives
when the pizza
is delivered
one bite
collapses in a new
chair
it will be days
before
they find you
and the pizza
box open
one slice missing
as science becomes
and guys
with guns and god
get their foot in
it is despicable i
heard that
the language itself is
arguably meant to cut
served
up have a last
meal and believe
somebody
other than you
must
be coming
must be moving in
arrived
in
the mail
seems cruel
the swing
the fun
and excitement
push me
harder
mom
push me higher
what’s left
is
nothing
what’s left
are
memories
our time
on
the swing
it is a planet
filled with
lonely
people
filled with
happiness and
sorrow
filled with
memories and
people who
are trying
to
forget
filled with
people who
remember
filled
behind the house
there is
a shed
it has a
window and
2
large doors
would you
mind if
i
moved
in and
put up a
mail box
called it home
called it my
new indiana
home
pretty happy
before
i met you
you
being so
depressed
and constant
i could count
on your
sadness
then i
ran out of
fingers
and
you moved
on
to somebody
else
your mom
resting
in the ground
in the
former
yugoslavia
it will happen
here
too
with
the speech money
you
bought a big house
a few humans and
an expensive car
can laugh now
because
i am and
no longer
entirely
give a fuck
here to chase
it was
yesterday
when
tomorrow arrived
happy birthday
to the
greatest
harmonica player
ever
to me anyway
nobody
stays here forever
your face
those notes
that key
and watching you
we would sob
wake up
crying
eat the toast
and
pretend
to dance
the greatest
summer event in
history 2
worms racing towards
the finish line
watches
as she licks herself
clean
only watch commercials
still talking to space
at least now someone
is there
helping
we are here
all of us
all the time
