                              Yesterday's news


Apathetically watching the news
Numbed by all the violence and
misery in the world
Conditioned dismay, a replica of
yesterday's items

'Heath Ledger died today
at the age of 28 years'

Shocked, devastated
My Heath left this earthly mire
His impersonation of  the homosexual
cowboy in Brokeback mountain
broke all my boundaries
I never saw such a rough and
still tender love before
Someone who can touch others
that deep
by playing sentiments needs
to be idolized

I mourned, saw his movies and
left it all behind
