Futile selfishness

Summers have been quelled

Restless eternity

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:

Goodbye Summers, a haiku by Steve Nickodemski at Spillwords.comIt hurt so much after my father’s death and the selfishness he exhibited during those final days that I felt compelled to write this HAIKU at the foot of his hospital bed on a hot July afternoon. This typical summer day, just like hundreds more that we spent together. Three weeks later he passed of brain cancer.
