for lola

The day you died

the sun was shining-

your languid body…

out of focus-

just before,

you grasp my hand

with an open gaze,

your eyes know.

fear is closing-

Then you’re gone…

the room is cold

the air is gloomy

my sun is gone…

you can’t go yet,

I forgot to tell you something-

thankyou…

you never knew,

but despite my pain

because of you

I am…here
