Sweet Gentle

Mike StoneContemplative

Gentle sweet

Gone already into the night Halfway across the void.

The problem is not

That the living forget the dead

But that the dead forget the living.

I visited your grave

And the one thing of which I was sure

Was that the one place in the wide universe that you are not

Is in this place.

Mike Stone

Learn by heart: tap a gap

Gone into the night
Halfway the void.
