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




divider


While I sit here by Joe

Nowhere to go

I wonder I ponder




divider


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.
