Hope in the dust

Larry Lowry 1959 (Pryor)



I saw her die nothing seems to help.  She was kind and a nurse she never demanded. I feel so sad the sky is coming down nothing is sustaining a hope that it will raise again. Half my soul is in the grave with her and i have no way to bring it back in so much desolation and dust burned hulks. How  do i return to life when life kicks me  in the ribs. I try to hold on what i have  love is dusty and alone
