OUTRAGEOUS (first version)

Roar with anger

Scream at the absurd 

Yell at the ridiculous

Damn the disease.

Turn your head into a basketball 

Bang it against the living room wall 

Bruise balled fists on the dining table 

Slam the door

Cry for the unfairness of her loss.

Fuck the pain

Hate justifications

And proverbial bullshit.

She lived by her heart

And gave herself to teach her art.

When cancer attacked

She fought back with vigor, 

did everything right.

Her death a judgement on the eternal 

When love gives her heart. 

To be hospitable, loving and careful, then

Nothing tried helps her get any better.

She bowed to forces of Mother Nature. 

For those who will miss her,

Knew her, and loved her,

She lived the adventure with loyal intention.

Her nature a gift to all creation.
