By The Bedside
by Joshua R. McClain
I sit here I wonder
I ponder
What will happen
I don't know
things are weird
I can't describe them
The room so cool
The dog laying in his own drool
The cat dreaming of a cat food pool
The man trying to rest
As I watch his chest
vibrating like as in a vest
While I sit here by Joe
Nowhere to go
I wonder I ponder
The dog now awake
The cat beginning to shake
The man now asleep
While I creep
Carefully
Quietly
Move around the room
I sit
I hide
By the bedside.
I wrote this poem, 6/27/99
for Joe Proper on his death bed.
I wrote this sitting next to him
the day before he died.
