If I Die Will You Die

Each year I hope I made a new found friend Each birthday fearing any loss of gain So hoping: no attention, party, game—plain A day of quiet sunrise tendencies… A Priest so eulogized simplicity… Compare my view: your thoughtful, smart, we’re spacey Your favorite suited daydream nothing racy A suit I never knew could be complicity. The things you didn’t need come back to mind. No matter what you asked you also give Maternal care I opened, you still live, Remembering how dawn began each day From different windows needed nothing else to say I left a purple long stemmed rose they did call gray So spoken love's last words inside your grave.
