Elegy

I valued you only when I bade you adieu If I had another chance, I would've

breathed you deeper

the years ended... in just a moments few

My freedom -

I didn't answer, and I didn't explain

I lived like a human..., no.., a man!

My music -

Your form is changed

You neither lull, nor liven

I look for you

a tune somewhere, or a lilt hidden.

My friends -

I loved and laughed

You'll be with me, when alone I cry

In a sea of strangers and snowstorms in the sky.

My self -

I laboured and birthed

Toiled for your form

You were my pride!

Now I bury you - a cold corpse...

unwept, unwreathed.
