Upon Learning of the Death of An Almost Stranger
A fellow poet has passed away.
I did not know him in person,
in person he was a name
with a only a shallowly linked life
unknown to me.
Yet on an internet forum
we talked of poetry
gathering jottings of character
and personality. Picking-up
on the nuances of our persona's.
Don't know what he died of
but hope he was not alone,
death should be a last line in a poem
at least somebody overhears.
