I woke to the smell of coffee
And the realization
Again
That you are not of this world
No longer of this world
I write down memories
I say your name
I study birds in the morning sky
In the hope that I can keep you alive.
Already you are fading
Disappearing
Day turns to deep dark night
And my brother asks for signs
I only ask for answers
What is permanent? What is real?
