Singing With the Dead
by Ted Thomas, Jr. – copyright 2007
ISBN 0-9785860-9-3
$10 including postage and handling
Sample from Singing With the Dead
Crutches
Now we are less perfect,
half the world with missing limbs.
War has reversed evolution --
like a mountain stream turned
against itself, bodies in braces, brief lives.
I have seen three wars already,
my father five.
Half the world is hobbled,
steel arms and legs
locked onto flesh.
Once at a party,
I shook the hand
of a man with one hand--
I tried but couldn't imagine
what it felt like for him
when the world exploded.
Sometimes in the cathedral
when I am sitting alone,
I put my two hands together
for those who cannot
and because I still can, I kneel.
