Consiglieri
The harsh light of the late autumnal sun
penetrated the stark tree skeletons
their few tattered leaves
testament to summer’s passage.
Yet a peculiar combination
of light and cloud,
created a lavender sunrset.
Minutes later it was gone.
We were friendly
but never friends,
our interactions limited
to polite salutations
when we chanced to pass.
Yet I can scarce express
my sadness to learn
that his peculiar combination
of grace and charm
will no longer grace our Corridors.
