the way you touched my face
with piano fingers
painted in black
letters struck over your
bare knuckles
your softness always
comforted me
you waited for death
soft and swift to
come and spare you,
drifted off until
the sandman floated
you down the river,
kindness in your eyes
being spared from
the fate you could
never endure
picked up the phone
the other day
but i couldn't
reach you
