Day 10
To you who was once you from me who is still me
Midmountain solitude, fraught
With dread and thought
Vomit and murder known and nebulous
And bubblegum pop smirk memoried puncture marks
Incredulous
You
Drifted away so sudden so far so fast
A note unsung, a flag half mast
Mouth agape, the shock of it all
So many whys and hows
Knee scraped by the crawl
Babystepped marathoners
Naked yoga vows
The second chasm
This one yours
Nuclear reaction
Sonic force
The unavoidable void
The hole, the rift
Your cheeks, your neck
I try to lift
My sights
Cold nights
I sift
I slipped
Our sun was created
I know I know
With just the one job in mind
(I took my job
And did it well
I know I know
There’s more to go)
It made life spring forth
And dinosaurs too
Though AJL would take a few
But it was just warming up
Billions of years
Building up grace
For its only purpose
To light your face
I know I know
And it had to be nervous
When the day finally came
Those eyes and that skin
Came into frame
And those rays realized why they shone so long
And in this blink of a fraction of a sliver in time
It will do why it’s here only while you are
The sun was created to illuminate you
And I’ve no doubt when you’re gone
Even that pure force power
Will begin to dim
Maybe for billions more years
It will surge with the energy of pride
Remembering the magic tint of glow
When it had you to show
But someday it’ll realize you’re gone
And its departure will be but a spectacular farewell
To its remembrance of your face
I love this mountain
I loved the climb
I’ve set up camp
Forgotten time
Your ghost, the robot
Empty word
Brick wall
Dog chase bird
Await your call
Until then I’ll write platitudes to your memory
In moonlight on raindrops
And cry at the feet of your ghost
Hoping sunflowers bloom in the puddles
