A WISH

there is a blue river in a valley and yellow flowers
and a white bird singing sad songs
somewhere behind me far away
and it is raining my friend
and this is all

when I die I want to be there
alone and forgotten

never was you hand so cold
as it was this morning when they called me
and you were gone forever
and I went there to kiss you goodbye
alone

I did not cry
I write my tears
with invisible ink
I hide behind invisible walls
I watch the game, invisible

there you were cold and quiet
gone forever and still very much with us
among those machines and people in white
- a noisy house it was -

I know you had to leave but I’m not sure…
did you also want to be at another place
when you said goodbye?

it was a large house and it did not breath or did it?
I don’t know anymore
I have this gift, I can forget
I had no tears for you
but you know how tricky tears can be

in the loneliness of a darkling evening
I gather my confusion

when I die I don’t need tears
I only want this blue river and a white bird
singing sad songs far away somewhere behind me

poignant and confused

mind spinning

the exact thing that comes out of the initial hours of mourning, of grieving

may God bless your moments
