Post Mortem Judith Goff
Words spoken, never unspoken …
Hearts broken, never unbroken …
Devastation …
Gone … without any warning
The call came, early THAT morning
Denial …
Those words, your mother spoke to me
My mind, refused to accept, you see …
Desperation
Frantic cries, all of my pleading
Shattered heart, torrents was bleeding
Destruction …
In my dreams, your specter haunts me
In this life, I will never see
Deliverance …
Silver gun, pressed against your head
Trigger pulled, why not me instead
SUICIDE …

"Judi, I am so glad that you are able to express yourself through the written word again, you are an amazing talent. I know Mark never wanted you to stop living when he did and I am glad to see you have been "awakened". I am sure Mark would be very proud of you. Don't ever stop...you know how talented I think you are. I believe in you and will not stop hounding you until you are published." -- April.
"Thank you,Baby Girl, you have always shown me support in these endeavors and if I ever do get published, it will be in a large part because of you ... keep crackin' that whip !!!" -- Judith.
"I was just back in Ireland for Christmas to find out my friends mother hand commited suicide.I have been around the troubles in N Ireland and have seen a lot of deaths,but this was different ,i couldnt even mention it to him,i was cold,i dont know what he thinks of that but i think for the first time i had went into shock over a death situation.I havnt lived there now for 11 years and it hit me that i and all the rest of the people who live through all thats happened there are immune to violence and death somewhat,i only realized i had changed by living away.Ilove your work ,makes me tremble its so real. " -- Stuart Eric Longridge.
"Stuart, I can only imagine what it must be like to live surrounded by fear and violence every day of your life ... we experienced a taste of that feeling on 911 and we now live overshadowed by the very real possibilty of more incidents of senseless violence ... I am very happy you enjoy my humble offerings ... Thank you" -- Judith.
