a death by Richard Trotter Distant and removed in tenth floor flat Guarded only by an ever loyal cat, Lies the limp body at its final rest No more breathes from its wheezing chest A name disappears with the unseen dawn The price of loves that were never born, No more dreams of the dark world below Separate and secure in the winter snow. 08/17/2002 Author's Note: a very old poem.
