Did you know him?
Your tears tell
me you did
Gone forever
you say?
That’s not him there
in the corner?
Don’t you see him?
Odd,
I do
But not through my eyes
Here
(I pointed to my heart)
Here?
she asked
Yes there
Put your hand
over
your
heart
She did
and then
laughed
“I forgot
he’s here
all the while”
Every one began
to put
their hand
over
their
heart
Every one
had
conversations
that were
so
uplifting
with people
no
longer
here
And
for the first time
ever
in all of time
there
was
no
distance
between
the
stars
and
earth
Damn
if the moon
itself
did not giggle
with
the
sun!
