“For Get to Never Mind the Close”
11/9/2007

For
Get the
Day we were
Close. Close the door
Of the past. Pass me
By like an urchine cur
And talk of my words never
Mind the moment you stripped the sheath.
Please forget the wound, the red tender
Bestowed. If loss, if love, if life cannot
In form of gift be given to earn your
Love what then is death between old friends?
The fates attest I tried. The book
Becomes my leather witness.
So what if this becomes
The end? You hated the
Beginning. For
Get the close.
We weren’t
Close.

    Kevin,

    Another great example of the etheree form, this time in a double etheree structure, right? I am becoming more aquainted, give me time and I will try this in my next poetry attempts.

    I have to mention that I am deeply moved by the sentiments expressed in this poem. I understand how it is to loss a friend, what more, a friendship that’s given a permanent closure. It is hard, but sometimes we need to accept that their are things that’s destined to end that way, just that.

    I wish you well.
