WE ARE EACH OTHER

I slip into your gestures
as if

they were my own
the ones I loved.

Adopt that certain tone
that could only mean

Brian and
your "Alright...Bud!"

Your voice
walks inside my head

I listen to the footsteps
of everything you say,

Here I adopt
your smile.

Use it as
you would do.

The kindness in your eyes
reflected now in mine.

See? Sometimes even I
forget your death

by becoming you
bit by bit.

You live inside me now
and we still exist

as brother
to brother.

The one grown into
the other.

Outside a new day
blossoms into being.

Walk with me as one.
My eyes will see for you.

A time that can be
never known by you.

I tell the dawn
your name.

This is
my brother.
