Avi
I saw the ground,
My shoes ahead of me -
and then your face came into focus
out of the jigsaw,
and my heart sprung to life
as if it had not beat since you had left.
It was your face
But I could not smile -
For it was on another’s shoulders
Another’s life,
And so my heart beat a little less
As if it had beat too much
Since you had left.
Rest in Peace, Avi (June 11, 1988 - February 12, 2010)
you are irreplaceable.
