goodbye explained - for the man across the sea who has had a blue couch

we feel it in our fingertips
the energy, our hair feels
heavy and our breath needs
control and cry: not the deep
wailing but incurable sadness
of kept tears waiting to fall

for the man we like - a hug
will be enough - for the man
we love - a hug feels like sand
wet and heavy - everything
visible, every wrinkle, every
blemish. there is a need to
hit, to throw, to just sit with
out movement. to stop time

and ask it forgiveness in

understanding

us on not ever accepting

why

a blue: why not a brown will do
