CALLING YOUR NAME
( for Brian )


“Love is space and time measured by the heart.”
― Marcel Proust



how, strange you were
and now
you're not

how, unbelievable I had
a brother
and now I've not

the world turned and somehow
you got off
Death -  that great Exit door

I have seen you dead
and still
believe it not

I follow in the footsteps
of your dying
speak your name

making you
come alive again
if only in sound

living
upon
my lips

you forever my brother
despite what
Death says

come
live in my mind
it's yours

see with my eyes
I'll share with you
what you can never see

be me
every now
and then

I've got life
enough
for two

carry you
through
all the world

carry you
through
all the days that remain

the price of this
great love
this great pain
