i try to forget about her
but she keeps on appearing, everywhere
there's a small young possum dead
trapped under my back door
half body in, half body out
but completely dead
and my neighbor's cat...
and this mysterious pain in my breast
when i breath
when i care
when, for the cats, i search
i keep on being reminded
of how fragile life is
and of the constant menace
she is, always
'cause where there's life
and there's hope
she likes to lurk
to ensnare!
i wish i could
about her, forget
but as soon as i misrecollect her
she comes forth again!
she's a constant threat
please please
oh death!
do go away
i'd like to breath
i'd like to forget

Ni modo Bere.
Morirse es también parte importante del ciclo de la vida (nomás que no hay que morirse antes de tiempo).
Saludos y ánimo, que todavía nos queda mucho kilometraje por delante.
Oh Frau Bere,
please don't think of death!
Better times will come...
Take a time at Ocean beach every day!
A big hug from a faithful friend! :)

hola don Felipe
hallo Herr Thilo
muchas gracias for your comments! and not to worry, don't think i am too overwhelmed by death, thank God i am still breathing... is just that i like to write in my blog dark thoughts, along with the nice ones too!
and btw, the darn possum was gone the next morning! i am not sure if he was only "playing possum" aka playing dead so Herr Gato and me wouldn't mess with him, or if he was really dead and became a larger animal dinner... in any case, I am here at work, busy and alive ;)
thank you very much for visiting though!
Hola Bere! :o)
Death pops up in my head sometimes, too. I just ascribe to him the cello part in Schubert's D minor string quartet (Death and the Maiden), then I find him a rather good company worthy of the 'replay' button. ;oD
Good shot of downtown from Coronado! I see you were at the ferry landing, ay? I like to walk a bit north of there to where the lawn ends... I wonder if one can hear the music from there when the SD Symphony is doing its Summer Pops concert at Embarcadero Marina Park - South...
Hope your week is going well! :oD Say Meow-lo to the lovely gatos, too!
death is comes as a change in life ,life is only a smal fraction of time in eternity,eternity it's all that you've done in life and people remember it...........i dreamed,i dream(sy)
