Hello old friend
you have sat patiently
at the kitchen table
while I blew
hot air
strewn
bills
and other obligations
around you
You open up
without hesitation
to receive
my words
now for my heart
to do the same
and my hand
to let the ink
flow
between the lines
Perhaps I did not want to face
the pain
of my only confidante's
shivering absence
I pretend
that life is the same
as before
when we did not speak
all those days
weeks
months
years
for either good
or bad
reasons
the basilar knowing
the reach possible
and that was comfort enough
Now it is no comfort at all
I have to face that you are gone
through the wardrobe door
beyond
here and now
there is a place
within
here I hear
your voice
in my own
