bit

there must be kindness

before there is death

though often it is only found

in the dying after of people

remembering one of their own

kind

*

what will come

has not yet become

so do not go

before it’s gone

*

i suppose i

am gifted to know

your loving

for i can see it

even now

when you are no

longer present

loving someone else

than supposing i

*

i have been trying to see

what my soul looks like

but my eyes focus too much

on what is ahead to see

what is inside
