Survivor's Guilt

 



I'd go back and save them all

if I could

probably wrong to do so

For reasons not for us to know

their deaths served some purpose

I would save them for selfish reasons

For good or ill, part of my own

Only wanting to discover

where continued intersections lead

So selfish

No respect for their wishes

or desires of those passed

Might not even have been a part

or grown to be someone's villain

We read the book

the art you commended

Now acquainted with the inspiration

and feeling quite unmoved

A well-practiced leer at the Rumba Bar

a girl dancing looked like Annie

Made me think

of a home so far away
