Memorial


Remembering a friend’s death
            Reminds me of her fall.
Tripped on the step
            Hit her head and fell
                        All of a piece.
Lying on the floor
            A gurgle deep in her throat
                        The only spark remaining.
Dark avenue opening before me
            The Road alone in the dark
                        Drowning in darkness.

Today her flame burns well
            Ten years later
That night it flickered
            Almost went out
Today I remember it
            As a dream
                        A brief taste of
                                    My friend’s end.
