Love

Hate

Attention

Envy

Pursuit

Space and loneliness

An empty heart for holding your tears

A friend a teacher a brother

A stranger on the beach who will ask you to stay until the stars come out past sunset

A faraway friend in another city another world another plane of genius

A brother who died that you can hear if you get very very quiet, in coincidences

Because his birthday is the same day you died

and conversations with his old friends, said he admired you the most

And a stranger

Who thinks like me

Talks like me

Acts like me

Feels like me

Who is always coming and going

In and out of love

Searching for the entrance to his own heart

The world and I wait in anticipation

For your pain to turn to gold,

For your sun to shine
