more deaths - poetry | |

Another high school friend died on Saturday. I met her in poetry | |
class in my junior year. She sat behind me and we had a lot of | |
fun. In fact, we had so much fun that we attracted the attention | |
of another person across the room, Kristin. She came to join us | |
after a few weeks in our little area and would eventually become | |
my best friend. | |
In honor of Erin, may she rest in peace, I'm reading back over my | |
poetry here on gopher and in old notebooks. So much of it makes me | |
cringe now (I obviously read too much Dickenson & Browning at the | |
time) but I can still feel the youthful passion. I wish I had some | |
of her poems around. | |
Old poems of dubious quality |
