Dominique Simpson

Peter, is absurd

Life goes on, right?
That’s what they always say about the after
After terrible things happen, right?
Death, by my hand.
I tried to talk, I tried to listen
He should be in his apartment
He should have had a life
The bench will always be his home
Are any of us really at “home”?
The thought of all that was said,
Lingers
The feel of the knife,
Lingers
The mention of life,
Lingers
Was it all, meant to be?
