His Last Words
When you're 'high'If you could see what I seeIn your unfocused empty child-like eyesYou'd see my father's blue stareAnd the horrorOf the loss of language of an educated manHe recited poems and Shakespeare,Knew the name of every tree in Latin MemoryThe unjust cruel sentencing of bewildermentAnd the dying of the brain.When you're 'high'What do you seeHis last words to me from surgeryHis last words:"Burning burning""Burning burning""Burning burning"I'm in the flame"Burning burning"
