... some thoughts during my (baby) brother's tangle with stroke last week.
life would go on without you
that much is true, without a lie
but it would never be the same
where everything’s outta frame
as you lay there unconscious
vomitting and out of it, scare
dare I even whisper your name
limp and shutdown unresponsive
my mind and thought on lockdown
would you even make it home
scariest night of our life thus far
i was a clueless kid, clueless still
holding newborn you in my arms
standing on the kerb waiting
as mum and dad drove out of
the old hospital parking lot
so clueless then, still clueless now
should’ve been me having lived longer
how can tomorrow be faced now
that life for us has been rent asunder
