Ji pulled the ladder up behind him and dropped the hatch. The only light came from the clouded sky beyond the clouded skylight. It was here somewhere, it had to be. He opened one box then another. In the last box he found it and held it tight, tears streaming. It was all he had ever wanted.

the sky is burning
the sky is burning
I hold your hand
a candle for the year
a candle for the year
a candle flame to ward away the fear
a candle in my hand to hold, as I hold you dear
a candle for the year
imagine all the tourists
the four are fab
a river the width of a sea
imagine all the tourists
more selfies than observation
believe
believe believed belief
bereave bereaved bereft
how a word a thought changed to another
the day you left
Programmed to see patterns
programmed to see patterns
I see waves crashing on rocks
tigers dancing
chessmen contemplating their fate
then
a sudden breeze
sweeps the clouds like leaves
from the north
and I think again
of reality
You left me flowers
You left me vases of flowers that did not die
A lemon yellow sun in the cobalt sky
A written instruction I was never to cry
All I wanted was to unhear goodbye
love continues
flesh tears
love is stronger
hearts break
love is stronger
dreams die
love is stronger
stronger than flesh
stronger than hearts
stronger than dreams
love continues
Violets are blue
Roses are red
So is my blood
Violets are blue
So are my lips
Roses are red
Roses are red
So is blood
