ARRIVALS & DEPARTURES
( for Bud on his birthday that was never to be )
Never to be
met by you again
at the airport
with a hastily scribbled sign:
"WAITING FOR GOD...
KNOWS WHO!"
Or telling me you were
expecting the Cat in the Hat.
One year a tip-top topper...
...the next a battered bowler.
Always. . .
your smile
my gold coin
your laughter
my treasure.
"Ahhhh Jaysus, Bud...tears?"
cries the ghost of you.
"It's all I get these days!
Dying is so...annoying!"
"Oh, before I go. . !"
the ghost of you smirks
before fading away
into an EXIT sign.
"I love the purple
fedora!"
