Kenny

by Steve Baba

My friend Kenny blew his
Head off with a shotgun,
He did it on a humid night
In Honolulu, he was alone,
And he couldn’t break
The addiction, so it broke him.

I visit him from time to time
In his urn that sits on a small
Shelf at Los Gatos Cemetery.

I had a couple of friends who chose to end their lives. They didn't use a gun, but it was just as effective. I probably never get the answer to the question why. It's just something one carries along for the rest of one's life.

Startling, graphic, very effective! Terribly tragic event.

Sometimes there's not much to say to convey the big picture. I like this, yet I'm sorry for your loss.

Intense is an understatement here. You have managed to grab the attention of the reader, with a slap! alisa

OMG this is brutal and stark...not sure if it's a true story or not, but damn was it telling either way!
