When Dona died
The spring grasses yellowed,
Our cheeks ashen. Her hair became a little redder
In our minds. The boy and the man strained
Under the constraints
Of communication. What was the sign
For "everything will be alright"? "Fine,"
Yes, you should say, "Fine." That is better.
Better than just, "okay".

When Dona died
The spring grasses yellowed,
Our cheeks ashen. Her hair became a little redder
In our minds. The boy and the man strained
Under the constraints
Of communication. What was the sign
For "everything will be alright"? "Fine,"
Yes, you should say, "Fine." That is better.
Better than just, "okay".
