To honour

Dinner is over and the dishes are dried
In the blackened kitchen
sits the simmered out stove

Into the dark
The screen’s light
Sneaks from your bedroom door
Your face is bathed,
And you don’t need your hand to wipe it clean.

Hush
Now that nothing tugs at your time
Hush
Can you believe it happened?

Just because it doesn’t always last
Doesn’t mean it isn’t real
Just because it comes and goes
Doesn’t mean he feels it too

When you lie naked in the dark by the shower
The black light brings comfort of what it can be
Not what friends say it is now

Its sound and fury
Like a cymbal in the sky
or Marmite and moonbeams
Is shared with few
And signifyies what?

It’s hard, you said.
I hope you remember, I reply.
You will find him again.
I believe in you.
