Rated: E · Poetry · Tribute · #1708889
A short tribute to the man who led me to believe that I, too, could write.
Often, when a flower wilts,
We put another in the vase, shrugging.
But there are no flowers here.

Today, we live in silence,
Our screams are gone forever now, failing.
For Chinaski has died.

1994
