Another Grief
for Andre
you arrived as she slipped
into that mysterious abyss
for weeks the void filled
with warm hope
the touch of your skin
electrically comforting
shuddering under me
something overtook your eyes
grey pools that never closed
as we kissed and I tasted
the sweet salt of your lips
a searching hunger
I felt as well
after the family funeral
we met again with my grieving
tears on your shoulder
your arms surrounding my
stammering utterings
ironing out the words with
reassurances and the indication
of something deeper
than I've seen for so long
then there was nothing
but silence and another death
our interlude broken
axe through an antherium
I had sent you a photo of
one of their flowers
the last night I saw you
