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 (c) Agust P, 2001 |

poignant and confused mind spinning the exact thing that comes out of the initial hours of mourning, of grieving may God bless your moments |
