Eulogy for a Partner in Crime

Lifepoems

We’ve crawled together
to the bottom of a canyon,
shared in some power outages,
beat each other with broomsticks,
and eaten more than two full moons.
We’ve washed dogs, cars, and effigies
until they all beamed white,
shot that hang glider down in Hawaii,
walked a mile in a paralyzing storm,
and never cost the world a secret.
We’ve worshipped, fed, and cowed each other
in the name of rotten sport,
panhandled and haggled through Mexican poverty,
handcuffed a racist farmer and left him for dead,
and, one way or another, always ate the worm.
Now, dear friend, I lay you to rest,
your bloated bottom to big
for the coffin I made you.
Come rainy days, the cardboard will melt into dirt,
and your ageless glory will pass on to my ants.

| I like that this poem is raw, unique, and personal. So often people write such generic poetry that doesn't come from any real experience.... it's refreshing to hear someone reflect on something that sounds tangible and real. |
