the night of my father's death

by nor vang - Scorpio


Hol

 

I could hear the butchering hungry heartbeats of the black crows 
Wondering outside the window of my father's bedroom -
The peaks of evil eyes quaking for fresh carcass 
And
Rich thick bloods ready to be suck -
My father's wounded cancer has haunted him for
Decades - 
Near, his fingers shivered,
Toes agitating
And 
Speechless to the standing crowds with flowing tears -
When a word is spoken
His head tilts, leaning back like 
He is choking from the Johnny's apple deep down his long throat - 
With his lungs and veins adjourned,
Bloods unzipping out, gashing 
Down the connected lines of his palm -
Bleeding like the Honorable Nile River of his nostrils painted the 
Sheets of his bed into red -
Red inks dashing from the edge of his eyes onto the Bunker Hills of his pillow
Alas, a cough was heard and ringers the ears of the whispers in this evening -
His chains has ripped and the black crows filled with bloods and fresh meat -
And
That is the night of my Father's death -

Reason for writing:

    death is undefine
