echoes of a passing
Where was I
When your beaten opponent
Launched its last coup d’état?
Nursing my cobbled bones?
Hobbled by genetics and history?
Hiding behind discord
And broken continuity?
I apologize.
I apologize.
I should have been there.
Crutches akimbo
To hold your hand
Hear your words
Broker your passage…
I failed you.
And yet
You spoke to me.
Sent me on my greatest journey
And I am better
As you promised
For the travel.
Please find peace
Whenever it is you are.
What comes now
Is for the living
To unravel.
