All the tears in China won't bring him back,
all the oxlips in the dell
can shed their blooms but
nothing can be done,
We have no authority only
dreams and drives
pushing up from nothing
and all begin to wither right away.
Yes. Wither from the very start--
don't argue with me.
This long death starts with the first exhale.
Reincarnation never happens.
Earthly things brought him to his knees.
He was always drowsy after that;
complained only once.
It was when we saw the oxlip.
My low key guy of boyish wit
who never hit a thing except piano keys,
cried when he saw the color he will leave behind.
I saw a ray of light blaze from
both his eyes the night he died
and it was borne away with him
and his reincarnation keeps
never coming.
