hello friend
i don’t know you
anymore
–
at least
we have the memories
that brief moment
we were close
–
i suppose
it’s inevitable
really
–
where we start
is never the same
where we finish
rarely so
as well
–
two different people
two sides of
the same coin
two shades of
the same color
–
these subtleties
make all
the difference
–
vibrating at different frequencies
following separate paths
viewing the world
from different angles
–
perhaps
we’re both clinging to the thin threads
of reminiscence
pining for the day that youthful comradery will again
spark
igniting the flame of fraternity
–
you were
my brother
now
i don’t know you
–
i loved you as
no other
trusted you
as I
no longer am capable
–
we are both at fault and
i believe
we both envision ourselves the
righteous man
–
is it better to atrophy
or to amputate
–
together we stand
once more
before the open casket
the viewing for the corpse of
our withered bond
–
solemn faced
stony stoicism
the only two present
to pay it our
final respects
–
i’ve come prepared
–
before we lay it to rest
let’s have the
eulogy
