ok, ko

i suppose

things can be worse

than losing someone who

didn’t love you

such as you

who lost someone

who did

*

it is given

that the meaning

of life

is to give

life

meaning

what is not said

is

how hard

it is

to take

what

it is

and entirely

what

it is

not

*

i miss the nights

where i smoked

by the fire

wondering in the smoke

that eventually rubbed its back

against my timbered legs

if it was the heat of the wood

or you

that warmed me

*

if you are not

angry yet

i cannot convince

you

and this fact

should make you

angry alone

*

loving her

made me a better

writer

but

losing her

made me best of all

though i didn’t want

to write much

then
